Concerning Wildlife

Found a dead or injured Sea Otter? An Eagle that can't quite fly?  Moose that won't go away?  We know what to do.

Although very cute and fuzzy, sea otters are wild animals with teeth.  They can carry diseases that can be passed onto domestic animals and humans.  Please when around a hauled out otter keep your pets restrained.  Photos and videos are ok at a 100' distance.

The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 makes it illegal to touch marine mammals without authorization.

The City of Homer is not responsible for delivering fuel to vessels on the Deep Water Dock.  Be sure that you have contacted your selected fuel provider in advance to coordinate the logistics of fuel delivery.  Fuel trucks would be required as there is no fuel line that runs out to the end of the dock.  If you would rather have direct fuel delivery, please request use of the Pioneer Dock where there is a fuel line that runs out to the end of the dock, which is owned and maintained by Petro Marine Services.

Logistics
Cargo Handling MUST be by a Terminal Use Permit (TUP) Holder. Line handling must be by a TUP Holder or the vessel's crew.
