Damage from powerful coastal storm surge events on the Homer Spit is undermining the portion of the Sterling Highway - Alaska Route 1 that connects the Kenai Peninsula mainland to organizations like the United States Coast Guard and the Alaska Marine Highway and will ultimately, if left unchecked, diminish the role the Homer Spit plays as a regional commerce center and transportation hub for Southcentral Alaska.
