Increased Presence Of Portuguese Man of War
The Government has advised the public to “take extreme care and caution while in or near the ocean given the increased presence of the Portuguese Man of War.”
A spokesperson said, “Portuguese Man of War can be identified with their bluish gas-filled float on top of the water, however, their in-water tentacles are often not seen making it a deadly predator for small fish and extremely painful for humans after contact with the skin.
“Please keep your distance and do not touch the Portuguese Man of War even if they are on land or a beach as the tentacles can still be very venomous.”
