They found Portuguese carabelas on seven beaches in Bizkaia
On Saturday afternoon it was necessary to ban bathing on the beach of La Zurriola, since the "many bites" caused by the Portuguese carabelas, some of them quite serious, were counted.
The Bizkaia Red Cross warned on Sunday of the discovery of Portuguese carabelas on the beaches La Arena, Azkorri, Arriatera-Atxabiribil, Gorliz, Aritzatxu, Laida and Lagako .
In addition, the red flag has been placedin the Arena, Las Arenas, Azkorri and Laga, so bathing in these sandy areas is prohibited. The water must be carefully introduced into the beaches\u00A0Barinatxe, Arriatera-Atxabiribil, Bakio, Aritzatxu, Laidatxu and Laida.
Experts have pointed out thatclimate change k, together with pollution and reduction of natural predators, is making it easier to spread. It also coincides with a significant increase in temperatures in marine currents.
On Saturday afternoon, bathing on the beach of La Zurriola had to be banned, as "numerous bites"caused by Portuguese carabelas were counted, some of them quite serious. The red flag was also placed in Ondarreta for similar cases, but they were able to bathe in La Concha all day long. Rescue and cleaning teams worked hard to remove jellyfish fromthe sea near Santa Clara Island.
This situation occurred not only in San Sebastian, but also on other beaches on the Guipuzcoana coast, such as Debaand Zarautz, where security measures were strengthened and bathing was suspended after the Portuguese carabelas were discovered.
The City of San Sebastian has recently amended its Protocol of Action. From now on, the reduction of bathing will depend onthe size and number of jellyfish observed, thus establishing more precise criteria for this increasingly common phenomenon.
