Marine Life: FWC researchers captured rare whale shark footage off the Florida coast, suggesting the giants may visit state waters more often than reported. Outdoor & Fishing: Tropical Storm Bertha brought rough surf and beach closures in the Panhandle, while anglers reported shifting conditions and mixed catches across Gulf waters. Conservation Recognition: FWC highlighted landowners across the Panhandle for habitat work through its Wildlife Habitat Recognition Program.
