St. Pete Beach in Florida did experience storm surge from Hurricane Idalia. This beach is around 150 miles away from where the eye of the hurricane made landfall on August 30, 2023 as a Category 3 storm near Keaton Beach. This area only experienced 4-6 ft storm surge which did flood the streets and some businesses. Thankfully many of the business have already cleaned up and are back open. The Florida Disaster Fund has been activated to support the communities in the big bend that were devastated by Hurricane Idalia, if you would like to provide support, consider donating at volunteerflorida.org #clearwaterbeach #hurricaneidalia #florida #servfl

Bird feeds cigarette to chick.Photo courtesy of Karen Mason. Smoking bans are no surprise anymore. They’ve been placed in bars, restaurants, workplaces, and more. But now they are headed to the beach. Cigarette butts, the tiny leftover stubs of a cigarette, often go unnoticed. But they are the number one item found on Florida’s beaches during cleanup initiatives. Now conservation groups are lobbying the legislature and getting the word out about these cigarette leftovers.
