📰 News we're reading

• Flagler Beach Accepts $20,000 Gift from Susan Smith for 5 AEDs in Late Husband's Memory (flaglerlive.com) — Flagler Beach is getting five new publicly accessible AEDs thanks to a $20,000 donation made in memory of a resident’s late husband. The devices will be installed in high-traffic or high-need areas chosen with the Fire Department, expanding lifesaving equipment already in the city and reinforcing community safety for residents and visitors alike.
   

• Why this year's right whale calving season matters more than ever (ifaw.org) — A North Atlantic right whale mother-calf pair was spotted just off Flagler Beach this season, part of a much-needed total of 23 calves. Conservation advocates say this encouraging rebound is fragile, stressing that vessel strikes, fishing-gear entanglements, and potential rollbacks of speed rules could quickly erase recent gains.
