70 box jellyfish found in Waikki

Advertiser Staff

Ocean Safety officials found just 70 box jellyfish this morning in Waikiki, a light influx, said Emergency Services spokesman Bryan Cheplic.

"It's a little unusual that we had two influxes in one month but this one is small so far," Cheplic said. "We're still encouraging beachgoers to check with lifeguards before going into the water."

Information of the box jellies is also available at the Web sites www.808jellyfish.com or www.hawaiibeachsafety.org.
