Friday morning a robot combs the swimming pool bottom at Homer High School, moving left or right, up or down, by a series of simple levers operated by a 15-year-old teen.
The robot’s eye is a digital camera connected to a television screen. It fits in a lap-top sized case. The screen shows the Rover on a mission to collect a ring from the bottom of the pool.

In 1867 the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service, predecessor service to the U.S. Coast Guard, transported the first federal officials to the territory of Alaska. From this modest beginning, cutters would eventually sail into the Arctic and the Bering Sea to protect the sea and those on it. Thus, “The Bering Sea Patrol” was born.

The game stars Billy, sitting on his boat with fishing rod and firearm in hand. The player's goal is simple: catch as many fish as possible. Here's the twist: to receive credit for each fish you snag, you must blast them out of the sky with a variety of weapons at your disposal.

There have been numerous sightings of a certain type of Japanese squid "flying" above the ocean's surface, and now scientists have offered an explanation.

After a decade or so of somewhat breathless warnings of a jellyfish apocalypse unfolding in the world’s oceans, new research by an international coalition of scientists suggests that the global jellyfish population may be about the same size it always was.

It’s hard to imagine that oceans in the far north once teemed with ancient marine reptiles. But 145 million years ago, that’s exactly what was happening a couple hundred miles north of mainland Europe. A region east of Greenland and north of Norway used to be home to a whole slew of giant sea-faring reptiles.

Perhaps reminiscent of the infamous Montauk monster, a giant eyeball has washed up on a Florida beach (as if Florida needed anything else weird). The Internets are buzzing with questions: whose eye is it? What is it?

The Coast Guard cutter Rush normally patrols Alaskan waters, but it’s traveled deep into the Pacific Ocean in pursuit of a suspected pirate fishing vessel.

People throughout Bristol Bay gathered in Naknek and King Salmon over the weekend celebrating the fishing season. KDLG’s Ariel Van Cleave attended this year’s Fishtival and sent this audio postcard. (5:12)

One month ago, seine fisherman Luke Anderson had the toughest day of his life.

On June 18, Anderson’s boat, the Scandia, sank off Harvester Island at the end of a days-long fight against the ocean. Anderson and his crew safely abandoned ship in their 17-foot seine skiff, but the hardest decision of the day wasn’t to leave the Scandia. It was leaving Anderson’s terrified dog, Bo, onboard.

Emily Guthrie was 18 months old in 1965 when she fell from a walkway above a fast-flowing section of Ketchikan Creek.

Her tiny hands clutched a rubber doll tight as she hit the frigid water near upper Creek Street.

It is hard to imagine who was more stunned: the team of adventurers who succeeded in crossing more than 50 miles of the Bering Strait’s frigid, treacherous swells to Russia from Alaska last week, or the Russian border patrol agents in an armored tank who watched them appear on shore, seemingly out of nowhere.
