The government says it is to spend 300,000 € on trying to stop jellyfish from arriving on Costa del Sol beaches this year.
The amount is a 20% increase on last season, and comes ahead of predictions of ‘massive numbers’ this year, although the cool May could have an effect in reducing numbers according to some experts.
Generally though, experts agree that climate change and other environmental factors mean that jellyfish are set to become a regular feature of summer on the coast.
Four boats will start to catch the jellyfish off the Costa del Sol from June 1, concentrating on clearing and protecting the areas which are popular with bathers. |
