🦞🚤 Lobster Mini-Season is July 29 & 30: Are You Ready?

Florida's annual Spiny Lobster Mini-Season returns to the Keys on Wednesday, July 29, and Thursday, July 30, bringing thousands of visitors to Monroe County for two of the busiest days of the year on our roads, boat ramps, and waterways.

Whether you're a local planning to head out on the water or you're visiting the Keys for mini-season, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office is asking everyone to put safety first and make sure you know the rules before you go.

👮 Expect extra law enforcement throughout the Keys. Deputies will be stationed at boat ramps, bridges, and on the water during mini-season. They'll be watching for boating safety violations, wildlife violations, and making sure everyone is following lobster regulations. Anyone caught with illegal lobster can face criminal charges.

🚗 Plan for heavier traffic. Roads, boat ramps, and waterways will all be much busier than usual. Officials are asking everyone to slow down, be patient, avoid passing in no-passing zones, and stay alert. Boaters should also remember that operating a vessel while under the influence is just as illegal as driving a vehicle while intoxicated.

🔒 Protect your valuables. Mini-season is also a busy time for theft. If you're leaving your boat unattended, remove fishing gear, dive equipment, electronics, and other valuables or store them somewhere secure.

🎣 Don't forget your licenses. Most recreational lobster hunters need both a Florida recreational saltwater fishing license and a spiny lobster permit unless they qualify for an exemption.

📍 Lobster regulations can vary depending on where you are in the Florida Keys and within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, so it's important to know the rules before you dive.

❤️ Lobster Mini-Season has always been a mixed bag for the Florida Keys. Some businesses welcome the extra visitors, while others say the two-day event brings heavy traffic, crowded boat ramps, and packed waterways without the same economic boost as longer vacations. No matter your opinion, everyone benefits when boaters, divers, visitors, and locals show patience, follow the rules, and help keep the Keys safe during one of the busiest weeks of the year.

💬 Question of the Day: Do you stay or head out of the Keys during mini-season? 🦞🚤

😲🎈⚓️ GIANT NAVY BLIMPS ONCE PATROLLED THE SKIES OVER THE !
-----------

It's almost impossible to picture today.

The next time you're watching a sunset in or driving past , imagine looking up and seeing a giant Navy blimp silently drifting overhead.

No... it wasn't advertising Goodyear.

It was hunting German .

During , the became one of the most important military training areas in America. While most people think of battles taking place thousands of miles away, a different kind of war was unfolding right here in our own backyard.

German U-boats were sinking ships off the Florida coast, and the Navy needed thousands of sailors and pilots trained to find them before they could strike again.

🌊 That's where the Florida Keys came in.

The warm, crystal-clear waters surrounding Key West became one enormous outdoor classroom.

⚓️ Destroyers practiced tracking submarines.

🚢 New submarine crews learned their jobs before heading off to war.

✈️ Pilots trained to search for enemy submarines from the air.

🎈 And floating above it all... enormous quietly patrolled the skies.

Believe it or not, those slow-moving blimps were actually some of the best submarine hunters of the war.

👀 They could stay in the air for hours, moving slowly enough for their crews to carefully study the water below. From hundreds of feet above the ocean, they searched for anything unusual—a submarine wake, an oil slick or even the dark outline of a U-boat lurking beneath the surface.

If they spotted something suspicious, they immediately radioed nearby ships or aircraft to investigate.

🌅 Can you imagine living in Key West in 1943?

Instead of sightseeing planes, cruise ships and parasail boats, the skies might be filled with Navy patrol aircraft while a giant blimp silently drifted overhead. Just offshore, destroyers and submarines trained together in preparation for war.

One of the Navy's most important training centers was also located right here in Key West. Thousands of young sailors came to learn the newest sonar technology, listening through headphones for the faint sounds of enemy submarines hidden deep beneath the ocean.

Many of those young men would leave the Keys and head directly into combat.

Today, visitors stroll along , anglers chase tarpon, divers explore the coral reefs and families gather to watch the famous Key West sunsets.

But more than 80 years ago, these same turquoise waters echoed with aircraft engines, Navy ships and sailors preparing for one of the most dangerous jobs of World War II.

It's incredible to think that one of the most peaceful places in America once played such an important role in protecting our country's coastline.

The next time you're in Key West, take a moment to look toward the sky...

Eighty years ago, you just might have seen a giant Navy blimp floating overhead.

🚀📈 SPACEX'S FIRST EARNINGS REPORT COULD BE A MAJOR MOMENT FOR INVESTORS! 👀💰
----------

Here's what investors are watching:

🚀 SpaceX has scheduled its first quarterly earnings report as a public company for August 4, 2026.

📊 That earnings report will trigger the first phase of the company's staggered insider lock-up expiration.

🔓 Beginning August 6, up to 911.5 million previously restricted shares become eligible for sale.
⚠️ Eligible for sale does NOT mean they will automatically be sold.

📈 An additional 10% of eligible locked-up shares could also become eligible for sale if SpaceX's stock closes at least 30% above its $135 IPO price during five of the ten trading days leading up to the earnings report.

📅 Unlike many IPOs that unlock shares all at once after 180 days, SpaceX chose a phased lock-up schedule, gradually increasing the number of shares available to trade.

🚫 CEO Elon Musk's shares are not part of this early unlock. His holdings remain locked until approximately June 2027 under a separate agreement.

👀 Investors will be watching two key things:
• 📋 SpaceX's first earnings results.
• 💵 Whether insiders choose to sell any of their newly eligible shares.

Both could have an impact on the stock's short-term volatility.

💬 QUESTION OF THE DAY:
🚀 Are you investing in SpaceX, or is there another AI or technology stock you're more excited about? Tell us why! 👇
