The cover of the Photo Issue, and the story goes like this. Cold front swell, genuinely frigid temps by Florida standards, and a warm-ish ocean putting steam over the horizon at sunrise. The kind of morning that separates the committed from the comfortable. Matt Bucelli was out there, and we’re damn glad he didn’t hit the snooze button.

Fifty years ago, Hugh and Joy Ganter opened Seafood World in Lighthouse Point and started something that’s still going strong today. What grew from that original seafood market into Papa's Raw Bar, carried forward by their son Troy and his wife Cassie, is the kind of story that doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because of the people behind it.

The Ganter family has been a friend to Atlantic Current since the early days, and the kind of support they showed us when it mattered most isn’t something we’ll ever forget.

Places like this are genuinely hard to come by — the kind worth driving across county lines for. This past Saturday, the community showed up for Papapalooza to celebrate 50 years, and the turnout said everything.

Congratulations to the Ganter family and the whole team. We’re grateful for you, and we’re rooting for 50 more.

She’s been dubbed the “world’s hottest scientist,” but Rosie Moore is far more than a viral headline.

The South Florida–based biologist, wildlife expert, and master diver has built a massive following by bringing people face-to-face with the ocean’s most misunderstood predators. From the Everglades to open water, Rosie blends science, conservation, and storytelling in a way that’s made her one of the most recognizable young voices in marine biology.

And some of her most important work is happening right here at home.

Just off Boynton Beach, researchers working alongside the SeaKeepers Society Marine Megafauna Foundation have identified a manta ray nursery habitat — one of only three known in the world. A reminder that groundbreaking discoveries aren’t always halfway across the globe. Sometimes they’re just off our own coastline.

Most people squeeze their passions into the margins. Matt Oberman and Skeeter Zimmerman built their whole lives around them.

Good waves are hard to come by in South Florida, but that hasn’t stopped these two watermen from scoring world-class waves. Matt with Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and Skeeter with the Boca Raton Fire Department — they run a 24-on, 48-off schedule that gives them the freedom to move when the swell lines up.

Their story goes back decades. Both grew up chasing every wave they could find, competing, landing sponsors, and living the early surf life. Skeeter rode with Quiksilver for years and launched Living Water Surf School before joining the fire service. Matt stacked up sponsors of his own and spent time as a lifeguard before stepping into his role as a firefighter.

Now the rhythm is simple: when they’re on duty, they’re serving the community. When they’re off, they’re tracking buoy readings, swapping shifts, and heading wherever hollow waves are breaking.

“What Matt and I are doing is a young man’s game and we have to stay fit,” Skeeter said. “You can’t just say, ‘I’ll do it when I’m in my sixties and retired.’”

For them, it’s never been about money or fame. It’s about the pull of the ocean — and making the most of it while the waves, and the years, are still on their side.

We’re looking for the shots that define South Florida — the ones that capture the people, places, and moments that make this place feel like home. From ocean sunrises to late-night scenes, everyday rituals to overlooked corners, we want to see your perspective.

Submissions are open across six categories: aerial, portrait, architecture, film, landscape, and submerged.

Whether you’re behind a drone, on the sand, in the water, or somewhere in between, this is your chance to be featured in what we’d like to think is your favorite local mag.

Submit through the link in our bio by March 31, 2026.

A decade ago, over 200 billion gallons of water was discharged from Lake Okeechobee — sending polluted freshwater pouring into Florida’s coastal estuaries and out into the Atlantic.

For fishing guides, watermen, and coastal communities, it was a breaking point.

What followed was the start of a movement. Guides like Capt. Chris Wittman and others who depended on these waters for their livelihoods decided they had seen enough. They organized, spoke up, and helped launch Captains For Clean Water (CFCW), a grassroots effort dedicated to restoring and protecting Florida’s waterways.

CFCW is fighting to keep our waters clean and preserve the way of life that depends on them — and they need your help to keep the fight ongoing. Everglades restoration faces a daily onslaught of lawsuits and land grabs from outside interests and corporations. Whether it’s becoming a member, supporting restoration efforts, or simply educating yourself on what’s happening to our waterways, every voice matters.
