• How Dawn Staley, South Carolina landed French recruit Justine Loubens (thestate.com) — Miramar Beach briefly took the spotlight as SEC spring meetings there set the scene for Dawn Staley to discuss how South Carolina landed French basketball recruit Justine Loubens. The story centers on international recruiting ties, another French player already on the roster, and the national team coach’s endorsement of Staley’s program. 
• Massive seaweed bloom expected to worsen along Gulf Coast beaches this summer (wwltv.com) — Sargassum seaweed is already piling up on Panhandle beaches, including Miramar Beach, and researchers warn it could reach record levels along the Gulf Coast this summer. While the floating mats support marine life offshore, they can rot onshore, creating odors, harming wildlife, and costing tourism-dependent communities millions in cleanup and lost business.
