Sea itch advisory issued for the waters off Seven Mile Beach
The Department of Environment has issued a sea itch advisory for Seven Mile Beach.
In a social media post on 8 Dec., the Department of Environment said, “There have been reports of jellyfish along Seven Mile Beach. When south-westerly winds occur, jellyfish traveling on offshore currents can be blown onshore. These appear to be thimble jellyfish larvae, which are known to cause sea itch when the larvae get trapped under swimwear.” For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
