• Beach officials: Do not enter Gulf waters on double red flag days (mypanhandle.com) — Panama City Beach’s safety director is urging everyone to stay out of the Gulf when double red flags are flying, warning that violators risk fines and potentially drowning. With recent mass rescues in nearby Miramar Beach, officials stress learning the flag system, watching Gulf conditions, and helping educate visitors who may not understand how dangerous local rip currents can be.
   

• Great white shark has been hanging out near the Florida panhandle (newsherald.com) — A 10-foot white shark named Bella has recently been tracked swimming off Panama City Beach and nearby Gulf County, but experts say beachgoers are still very unlikely to encounter her. Researchers explain that white sharks are more common in the Panhandle than once believed, yet remain mostly offshore and focused on natural prey, with no documented great white attacks in the Gulf of Mexico.
