Harvesting Florida’s Bay scallops during scalloping season is a fun and potentially rewarding summer activity enjoyed in Pasco County’s waterways. During scallop season snorkelers go below the water’s surface hoping to spot scallops as they flutter through the shallow seagrass. Before diving in, it is important to know and follow regulations, vessel requirements and daily catch limits. Pasco Sheriff’s Office is sharing tips to keep snorkelers and boaters safe this scallop season.
Pasco Sheriff’s deputies are always prepared to assist whenever – and wherever – they’re needed. A corporal in the District 1 area recently responded to the Wawa at SR 52 and Little Rd. to help a kitten that was trapped in a sewer for at least a day. Wawa employees provided the corporal and a citizen with hazmat suits so they could successfully rescue the kitten from the sewer.
Employees at the Wawa report that the kitten is doing well with his new family. We’re thankful for this corporal’s quick action in assisting the kitten, and to the Wawa employees who sent in this photo of the corporal, post-rescue!
