Workers with Psenak Construction dump a load of armor rock on Monday, March 22, 2021, at Mariner Park on the Homer Spit in Homer, Alaska. Contractors worked to beef up the Ocean Drive Loop Seawall for the Homer Seawall Armor Rock Improvement Special Assessment District project. The almost $950,000 project reinforces the seawall by putting down filter fabric, bedding stone and armor rock at the toe of the wall. The armor rock breaks up energy from storm waves, but also keeps sand and gravel behind the wall from eroding. (Photo by Michael Armstrong/Homer News)
