South Africa's coastline is once again under close watch as environmental authorities urge the public to stay away from marine animals washing up on beaches, following the spread of hazardous red tides along parts of the west and south coasts.
Environmental officials have cautioned that certain shellfish and marine species may be toxic to humans, raising concerns for coastal communities and beachgoers who might be tempted to collect seafood from affected areas.
The warning comes amid ongoing reports of shellfish wash-ups and fish deaths linked to deteriorating water conditions, as noted by EWN .
