Rare box jellyfish spotted in Gulf of Eilat waters
A rare species of box jellyfish has been spotted in the waters of the Gulf of Eilat, prompting the Israel Nature and Parks Authority to urge swimmers to remain alert while stressing there is no reason to avoid entering the sea.Authorities said only a handful of Alatina grandis jellyfish have been observed, describing the appearance as an isolated event rather than the start of a jellyfish bloom. The species is rarely seen in the northern Red Sea…
The Israel Nature and Parks Authority emphasizes that this is an isolated incident involving only a few individuals. Although the sting of the jellyfish may be painful, it is not the deadly species known from Australia, and there is no reason to avoid swimming - but to be vigilant.
