Thousands of people have been attended to for jellyfish stings on the Costa del Sol as a plague of the creatures has been approaching the shore.

The numbers started to rise over the weekend, bringing inconvenience to bathers, affecting the whole coast. The species involved is the ‘Pelagia Noctiluca’, which is complicated to control because of their small size and because they sting a lot. Efforts are being made to try and collect the creatures in fishing baskets, which are then taken to the shore and buried. Cleaning ships contracted in Málaga city alone collected 3,900 kilos of jelly fish over the weekend. More waves of jelly fish are expected over the next few days. A lack of rain and absence of turtles has favoured the growth in the jellyfish numbers.
