Saltwater license foes warn of sweeping charges
Destin's charter and party boat captains slam a proposed $500 annual saltwater license as unfair and unenforceable. They warn it will force boats to raise prices or go out of business, while residents and visitors face higher fishing costs. The bill, approved by a House committee, targets charter boats though individual anglers would pay lower fees.

Scientists from across the country study hundreds of dead and dying Common Loons along Gulf Coast beaches from Seagrove to Grayton to determine the cause. Researchers in Madison and at the University of Georgia join the probe after botulism is ruled out, with starvation and drowning noted as secondary factors. The team warns the trend could threaten loon numbers if not identified and halted.
