The summer season starts in Ibiza and not only those of us who live here know it, but there are some very irritating beings who year after year insist on visiting us. Yes, we mean Jellyfish, those marine animals that so much disturb our bath and the one of the tourists and that, without much effort, can leave you without the best of beach days. At the beginning of last summer Ibiza coves They were full of them and made us presage the worst, however, with the passage of days, his arrival to the coast was decreasing and finally, except in some other case, We all could enjoy the sea water.
This year we have a novelty that, from the start, would scare the bravest. Many have already been those have seen in areas of the north and the west of the island a species of jellyfish of blue color, something that put the population in a state of alert.
And, despite the fact that those that usually arrive at our coasts do not cause more than a certain irritation when touching you, there are beings of this kind that can lead to many more complications.
Well, since welcometoibiza.com We assure you that No need to worry. It turns out that this blue jellyfish (velella velella) does not react when it comes into contact with the skin of the bather, unlike those we already know on the island, those pinkish ones with long tentacles that produce hives.
The unpleasantness of this specimen is the bad odor that comes off when it starts to decompose, otherwise, there is no danger of touching it while you take a quiet dip so you can continue to enjoy the beach in your air and even take the opportunity to photograph this curious jellyfish which has a small sail that propels him in the sea.
Children, the most curious by nature, are sure to go straight to touch them if they see them, so at least we know that there is no danger in it.
The note
El Increased jellyfish in the seas is due to a greater extent to one of Their predators Main, turtles, They are disappearing by the action of man. The scarcity of rains and the fall in the temperature of the water also influence the reproduction of these marine creatures.
