Great danger on the coasts of Antalya and Alanya: Flash warning from the authorities

Flash warnings came from the authorities about the danger that is rapidly increasing and frequently seen on the coastlines of Antalya and Alanya. According to experts, even touching these creatures is very dangerous.

Another danger emerged after the puffer fish began to multiply rapidly in the Mediterranean and disrupted the balance in marine life. Jellyfish, which have started to wash up on the shores of Antalya and Alanya, pose a danger.

WEATHER TEMPERATURES CONFUSED THE ROUTE

These jellyfish, which should normally pass off the Mediterranean coast, were dragged towards the shore due to the current caused by the north wind.

THEY STARTED TO HIT ANTALYA AND ALANYA BEACHES

Prof. from Akdeniz University Faculty of Fisheries. Dr. Mehmet Gökoğlu said that these jellyfish are in transit in the Antalya and Alanya gulfs and are moving towards Rhodes. Gökoğlu stated that while the north-eastern wind drags the surface current towards the open, the middle water recedes towards the shore, and therefore some of the jellyfish enter the inner bay of Antalya and Alanya.

NEVER REACH IT BY HAND

Experts warned against touching these jellyfish with hands. Gökoğlu said that these jellyfish can cause burning, redness, rash and irritation upon contact.
