Good morning, Naples.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission is proposing a three-week hunting season that will allow trophy hunters to use hounds, bait and bows to hunt black bears.

A poll shows 81% of voters oppose the hunt—experts warn the plan may harm the state’s small bear population.

During a sunset tour Friday night, Nick Schwartz found a dead hawksbill sea turtle on Big Hickory Island—he immediately called FWC to report it.

A young biologist later confirmed a similar turtle was reported on the same beach, and Schwartz noted a dead manatee was also found weeks ago—urging water users to protect local marine life.

In affluent Southwest Florida, one in twelve seniors struggles to get enough healthy food because rising prices make it hard for those on fixed incomes—Harry Chapin Food Bank offers programs such as Care and Share, the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, and Meals on Wheels to help them.
