At 6 p.m. March 6 at the Homer Public Library, Loretta Brown of the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies presents “Unsought Catch,” a discussion on marine debris and how natural disasters in the northwest Pacific Ocean, including the Tohoku tsunami debris and the Philippines typhoon, affect Alaska. The talk is part of the CACS winter 2014 speaker series. 

At 2 p.m. March 22, Brown presents Marine Debris Art Day, a two-hour art program for kids 7 and up. She will teach techniques for using marine debris to create fun and beautiful art pieces. Tools and material to be part of a CACS large-scale art sculpture and some small take-home art pieces will be provided. Parents and kids, drop in and stay as long as you want.
