Rhopilema are dominating this month!

This month has seen large numbers of Rhopilema hispidum washed up on the beaches all over Hong Kong. Over 100 of them were caught in the Cheung Sha beach swim net in one beach survey! It is likely that the strong east winds brought more of them in close to the shoreline to get stranded.
本月可見大量Rhopilema hispidum被沖上全港各地的沙灘，在一份沙灘調查中更顯示，在長沙泳灘有逾一百隻被沖至防鯊網上！很有可能是強烈的東風將牠們吹近岸，因而被困。

Please be careful out in the water as stings have been reported by swimmers.
本月也有水母螫人事件的報告，大家在參與水上活動時要小心！
