ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. -- First Coast News has learned that a major study about erosion along northeast Florida is about to be released.

And that information could reveal what – if anything – the federal government's plans are to help critically eroded beaches in St. Johns County.

That was welcomed news to Vivian Browning, a realtor and resident of Vilano Beach.

"The oceanfront owners over these last years have had to consider erosion," Browning said.

However, she said the beach by the Vilano Town Center has fared well when it comes to erosion.

ATLANTIC BEACH, Fla. -- A local fisherman got the catch of the day after capturing a great white shark on camera in Jacksonville Beach.

It was an ordinary day for Chad Starling and his fishing charter last Saturday until out of the water came something he never expected followed by questions about whether his actions were even legal.

"The entire time I was more excited than anything, fear was never an issue," said Starling, a captain with Team Buck Rogers Fishing Charters in Atlantic Beach.

NEPTUNE BEACH, Fla. -- On Thanksgiving morning, 1st Street in Neptune Beach will be packed for a local tradition that's grown to attract thousands of people from all over.

It's the annual Pete's Bar Thanksgiving gathering.

"It's a friend and family oriented event. I think last year we got close to 20,000 people out here," customer Joseph Landry, who's been going to the bar for six years.

Landry said he couldn't think of a better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than at the bar's annual street party.

"You see a lot of diversity and crazy hats," said Landry.
