Last month, the Town of Jupiter Council passed a resolution that supports the voluntary elimination of single-use plastic straws and overall reduction of single-use plastics. The campaign is called "PURE" which stands for "Plastics Use Reduction Encouragement," which doesn't outlaw straws and single-use plastics but prompts the community to get involved in the effort to decrease plastic pollution.  

Jupiter prides itself in its incredible blue water- when the tide comes in the inlet it is an extravagant sparkling turquoise that will make you want to stop what you're doing and jump in. The area also has an abundance of marine life- it's one of the most popular places to scuba dive in the state- and our beaches are important nesting sites for sea…

RewardExpert, a New York-based company whose services help people get the maximum benefit for their spending and traveling, did some surveying to determine the best states for high earners and affluent people.

From Jupiter Boca Raton, Palm Beach County is taking part in the International Coastal Cleanup the weekend of September 15th, and additional volunteers are welcome to join!

Fishing this week is slow and the seas may be a bit rougher than usual from the hurricane up in the Carolinas, but if you’re heading out you may be able to snag a few small mahi trolling with bonita strips, ballyhoo, or squid.

Juno Bait shop recommends Yo-Zuri Mag Darters, DOA Bait Busters, and Rapala X-Raps, with live finger mullet being the number one choice for snook!

If diving is more your style, lobster has been…
