Anti-jellyfish nets will be deployed this summer on four beaches of the Mar Menor. This initiative comes in response to forecasts of a jellyfish influx comparable to the previous year. The municipalities of San Pedro and San Javier have requested the installation of these safety measures.

The three beaches, Villananitos and Lo Pagán in San Pedro, alongside Veneziola and the Pantalán in San Javier, will be equipped with specially designed nets. The local authorities believe these nets will enhance the safety and comfort of beachgoers.

The anticipated deployment underlines the importance of environmental management in coastal areas. The move aims to protect not just swimmers but also the marine ecosystem by effectively managing the jellyfish population in the Mar Menor.

Officials urge visitors to stay informed about beach conditions this summer and to follow safety guidelines for swimming. The new measures will provide additional reassurance for beach activities as the sunny season approaches.
