With the warm weather and more people heading to the coast, it’s worth knowing which jellyfish you might come across around Ireland this summer.
Some species, such as the Lion’s Mane Jellyfish, can deliver very painful stings, while others are completely harmless.
✅ If you’re heading for a swim:
• Keep an eye out for jellyfish in the water.
• Avoid touching stranded jellyfish, as they can still sting.
• If stung, leave the water safely and seek assistance from a lifeguard if available.
