BRADENTON – Spiny lobster season closed April 1. FWC officials are asking for beachgoers to look for shorebird nests built from sand and shell with chicks that can barely be seen and for them to avoid stepping on them. High pressure will continue to ridge across the Florida Peninsula and into the eastern Gulf of Mexico through the rest of the week. Winds and seas will begin to increase Sunday night as the next cold front approaches.
