Navarre Beach was the host site of a homecoming of sorts last week. Aaliyah, a juvenile green turtle, was released into the Santa Rosa Sound near Opal Beach after spending the last few weeks at the Gulfarium recovering from injuries.

With several complaints about anglers spearfishing near the reefs on Navarre Beach recently, residents and visitors are being reminded that spearfishing is prohibited in that area, per Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rules.
