Palm Beach County Ocean Rescue

An incredible encounter today at Gulfstream Park with a momma leatherback sea turtle.
A leatherback sea turtle came ashore to pay a visit to all the beach goers. A rarity this late in the day. Sea turtles normally lay their eggs very early in the morning before sun up or in the middle of the night.
Everyone on the beach did an amazing job keeping a respectful distance and allowing Mother Nature to take its course. While Momma decided today wasn’t the right time, we’re confident she’ll be back soon.
Moments like these make working on the ocean such a special experience. The ocean and Mother Nature never cease to amaze, reminding us just how incredible the natural world truly is.

is here to tell you about the Portuguese Man o’ War!
The Portuguese Man o’ War is not a true jellyfish, but a colonial organism made up of multiple specialized parts working together as one.
If a Portuguese Man o’ War makes contact with your skin, it can deliver a painful sting from its tentacles, even if the organism is no longer alive. Stings typically cause an immediate burning sensation followed by redness and raised welts that can last for hours to days.
When do they come to Palm Beach county?
•November-March (Late fall-early winter)
What to look for:
• Blue or purple float on the surface
• Long trailing tentacles in the water or on shore
• Increased presence with onshore winds
Safety guidance:
• Do not touch — even if beached. Those tentacles are still active!
• Avoid areas where they are present
• pay attention to the tides (High tide- they are coming in. Low tide- they are going back out)
• Check with lifeguards before entering the water
If you are stung:
• Go to the nearest Lifeguard we will help.
If no lifeguard is available- use a card (credit card is perfect) to scrape off the remaining tentacles or they will continue to sting you. A hot shower will neutralize the sting & provide relief!
