“Increased Presence” Of Portuguese Man-of-War
The Department of Parks said they wish to advise the public that “current onshore wind conditions have caused an increased presence of Portuguese Man-of-War [PMOW] at Horseshoe Bay today” and have advised the “swimming public to take extreme care and caution while in or near the ocean over the next few days.”
A spokesperson said, “In addition to flying a Purple flag at the tower indicating the presence of marine life hazard and advising beach patrons through informal contact on the beach, the Lifeguards have additionally placed PMOW signs along the beach.
“We wish to advise the swimming public to take extreme care and caution while in or near the ocean over the next few days. PMOW can cause extremely painful strings upon human contact.
“Members of the public are advised to stay away from them and not to touch them, even if they are on land, as the tentacles can still be very venomous.”
