A harbor seal was spotted at Mosquito Lagoon near Ponce Inlet on Monday — surprising both residents and experts after nearly two decades without one.

Scientists from the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute examined its health and urged locals to report any new sightings.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission stocked nearly 300,000 Florida bass into Lake George between February and March; the young fish raised at the Florida Bass Conservation Center now support efforts to restore fish habitat (located between Volusia and Putnam counties).
