Authorities urge caution due to venomous jellyfish sightings at Pantai Rhu Muda.
The public has been advised to be wary of the presence of hundreds of jellyfish or Portuguese Man of War which have washed ashore at Pantai Rhu Muda here.
As such, she advised the public not to touch the poisonous marine creatures, including those that are dead, as they can pose serious risks. “They also move according to ocean currents and wind. Research shows that the strength and direction of wind influence their presence on shorelines. The strong Northeast Monsoon season winds are among the factors causing them to wash ashore,” she told Bernama when contacted.
“I also advise fishermen to be more careful because these jellyfish can easily get caught in fishing nets,” she said.
