New Noyo Harbor Icehouse poised to support the North Coast fishing industry

The container that will be ground level supporting two containers stacked on top of it to make up the new Noyo Harbor ice house is opened for the preview tour on Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2025 in Fort Bragg, Calif. Once installed it will dispense flake ice to boats and trucks.

FORT BRAGG, CA., 10/10/25 — Commercial and recreational fishermen in Fort Bragg are about to get a boost with a new icehouse at Noyo Harbor, an addition that officials say will strengthen the harbor’s working waterfront and support the local fishing economy.

On Tuesday, the public was invited to tour the icehouse before it opens, hopefully next month. Dozens of people showed up on an unusually warm morning, including officials, state representatives, homeschool students and members of the public. As sea lions barked in the distance, the crowd learned about the project and how it will impact the community.
