Myrtle Beach Fire Rescue has received many calls this week for Portuguese Man-O-Wars that have washed up on local beaches.
MBFR asks if you see these jellyfish-like creatures on the beach, don’t touch them. Inform a lifeguard or beach patrol member to make sure it gets disposed of properly.
For more information about the Portuguese Man-O-Wars visit DHEC’s website at www.scdhec.gov/Health or the SC Department of Natural Resources’ website at www.dnr.sc.gov/marine.
