Jellyfish on Milford on Sea beach

New Forest District Council have made the announcement below following a Portuguese man o'war jellyfish being recently seen on Milford on Sea beach.

NFDC Announcement:

A Portuguese man o'war jellyfish has recently washed ashore at Milford on Sea beach. Please keep away if you spot any as they can sting, so keep dogs clear too. 

There is an increased chance of seeing these because of recent weather.

If you spot anything unusual on our beaches, please let us know. Use a What-3-words location with a photo and anything else relevant. Do not collect or put yourself at risk on the coast.

Jellyfish are important indicators of changes in our seas. Sightings can be reported and the data helps to monitor the health of the ocean. You can do this by clicking here.
