Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve

The Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve or KBNERR celebrated its 25th anniversary last week.

On Tuesday, research reserve staff, along with community members, conducted crab monitoring on the Homer Spit. The group was searching for signs of the invasive European green crab.

The Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve installed a Motus tower earlier this month that uses radio waves to track tagged birds that enter its radius.

The reserve’s series of public lectures and hands-on demonstrations cover a different topic each month, like tide pool invertebrates, volcanoes and earthquakes along the Ring of Fire. This month, Bentz said, her organization chose the watershed workshop because of how many researchers studying local watersheds happened to be in town.
