Beach season is here!

Including Gulf coastlines, bays, rivers, bayous, and tidal shorelines, Alabama has more than 600 miles of coastal waterfront that support a diverse ecological system, including seven common species of jellyfish.

These species include the sea nettle, moon jellyfish, cannonball jellyfish, Portuguese man-of-war, oceanic jelly, sea wasp, and mushroom jelly. While jellyfish may have a bad reputation, they are fascinating and beautiful creatures that belong to a group of animals called coelenterates.

If you accidentally come into contact with a jellyfish:
• Do not rub the affected area
• Rinse with saltwater — freshwater can stimulate the stinging cells
• Apply meat tenderizer (this is not a myth!)
• Watch for adverse reactions and seek medical attention if necessary
