U.S. Coast Guard

Lauren LeFree, 37, of Homer reported fell overboard a fishing vessel in Icy Strait last Saturday.

The Coast Guard will patrol Homer's waters to ensure compliance with regulations and safety standards.

The U.S. Coast Guard seized 117 pounds of illegally caught fish near Homer on Wednesday. The law enforcement team from the USCG Cutter Naushon discovered the halibut aboard an unidentified commercial Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) halibut boat, according to a press release from the Coast Guard. The halibut, which was not documented in the vessel’s logbook, was also fileted so the size and number of fish couldn’t be determined.

The City of Homer has applied to become a designated Coast Guard City — a recognition shared by just five other communities in Alaska. The designation is mostly symbolic, and is extended to cities that take extra steps to make Coast Guard families feel welcome.
