1. 'Mental health' situation at Sunseeker (yoursun.com) — Law enforcement responded Monday to a reported mental health-related situation at Sunseeker Resort in Charlotte Harbor, briefly taping off an area and diverting traffic around the parking garage. Detectives say the investigation is just beginning, but emphasize it currently appears to be a mental health call at the waterfront hotel that opened in 2023. 
2. The boater's guide to storm season (floridaweekly.com) — If you boat on Charlotte Harbor’s 270-square-mile waterway system, local marine experts urge you to prepare now for hurricane season with clear evacuation, storage, and insurance plans. The guide explains when to pull your boat, how to secure it, what your policy should cover, and why relaunching too soon after storms can be dangerous in Charlotte County’s canals and marinas.
3. Retailers' HR execs tackle evolution of recruiting, retaining talent (furnituretoday.com) — A recent furniture industry conference in Charlotte Harbor brought national retail HR leaders together to discuss how artificial intelligence and changing worker expectations are reshaping hiring, training, and retention. Panelists from NFM, Home Furniture Plus Bedding, and El Dorado Furniture shared how they’re using AI tools, flexible processes, and stronger coaching to reduce workplace friction and keep employees engaged.
4. WATERLINE: Plastics, plastics everywhere...and more than you'd think (yoursun.com) — Microplastics from old tire reefs and everyday plastics are increasingly contaminating waters, wildlife, and even our bodies, and that includes the waters around Charlotte Harbor. This column explains how plastics break down into harmful micro- and nanoplastics, how they enter our food, air, and water, and urges residents to reduce single-use plastics to help keep Charlotte Harbor beautiful and safe.
