Spring Forward This Weekend

Daylight Savings Time Begins Sunday, March 10th

Spring is coming, and the start of longer daylight hours is well underway. With daylight saving time starting in March, most beach goers will soon have more hours in the sun and golfers can get in a full afternoon round. Daylight saving time signals the tourism season has begun for the gulf coast.

According to Wikipedia, Benjamin Franklin suggested that if Parisians could only wake up earlier in the summer they would economize on candle and oil usage, but he did not propose changing the clocks. The first nation-wide implementations were by the German and Austro-Hungarian Empires, both starting on 30 April 1916. Since then many countries have adopted the practice.

Whether we like the change or not, the TIME has come to change the clocks in your dwelling or office. Afterwards we can take in a brighter view of the paradise we call home.

Sea Turtle Nesting Season Has Begun

By Ken Cooper • May 1, 2025

That special time of the year has arrived where beachgoers share the sand with turtles that nest and lay up to 100 eggs per clutch along the beach. The annual nesting season for many of thee sea turtles has been happening long before some of the people ever frolicked amongst the waves.

NOAA Combines Old And New Tech to Track Snapper In Gulf

By News Staff • April 30, 2025

Tracking fish with sonar has been available to the public since 1948, when the famous Furuno brothers introduced the product in their native Japan. A 'salty' charter captain might add that it was Lowrance that brought it to the U.S. fishing market. But whomever you credit, NOAA has now combined it with artificial intelligence (AI) to provide better chart mapping and even fish count locations of fish in the gulf. The results could impact local fishing seasons in the future.
