How to Keep Swimmers Safe During Jellyfish Swarms

Summer is upon us and we all know what that means – days spent lazing around on the beach, soaking up some sun and playing in the water. While the beach provides us with the perfect platform to enjoy our summer activities, it also comes with its own set of challenges, like the annual jellyfish invasion.

With their painful stings, these creatures can really put a damper on your beach experience. However, there’s an easy solution – jellyfish nets to keep people safe. In this blogpost, we’ll be discussing the benefits of using jellyfish nets and how they can help protect swimmers during jellyfish swarms.

THE BENEFITS OF USING JELLYFISH NETS EXPLAINED

Jellyfish swarms are a common occurrence during the summer months, and they can put a real damper on your beach experience. These poisonous creatures often make their way close to shore, making them a serious threat to swimmers. But have no fear – jellyfish nets have come to the rescue. Our custom-made nets are designed to keep jellyfish at bay, protecting swimmers and allowing them to enjoy their time in the water without fear.

A hassle-free solution to a potentially dangerous problem

Jellyfish nets are particularly useful for hotels and resorts with beaches and local governments with public beaches. These areas can protect swimmers by providing netted bathing areas. We manufacture custom-made jellyfish nets to protect swimmers from jellyfish within a confined area. These nets are made for each project and designed for quick and easy maintenance, repositioning, re-installation or removal.

The nets serve a dual purpose

Our jellyfish nets serve a dual purpose: they help keep jellyfish out of designated swimming zones and also act as a clear demarcation line for light watercraft, such as kayaks and paddleboards. For government entities, they provide a practical solution for enhancing swimmer safety and managing recreational water use. Private resorts also benefit by offering guests a safe, well-organized area for swimming and light water activities.

Keeping the marine ecosystem intact

One major concern might be the impact of jellyfish nets on marine life. At Ecocoast, we believe that to be truly sustainable, it is essential to focus on the Ecocoast 4Ds: Design, Develop, Deliver and Drive Change. This philosophy drives everything we do. From the materials we use in our jellyfish nets right down to the waste management hierarchy, to minimize the impact on our environment.

So thankfully, our jellyfish nets do not harm marine life. The materials used in their construction are designed to protect swimmers while keeping the marine ecosystem intact. That makes them a great ecological solution that allows us to keep people safe without compromising the natural beauty of our coastline.

Easy to install

Finally, one question that often comes up is whether jellyfish nets are easy to install. The answer is yes. Our nets can be supplied as a stand-alone barrier that is easy to install or a detachable barrier that can be attached to an existing safety barrier. This makes it a hassle-free experience for beach managers who can quickly have the nets installed to provide swimmers with a safe space to enjoy.

Alternatively, we offer full-service support and can help with the installation if required. Our trained professionals have experience in installing even the most complicated of barriers. You can trust us to have it up and running in no time.

PROVIDING SWIMMERS WITH A SAFE SPACE

No one wants to be stung by a jellyfish while enjoying their time at the beach. Jellyfish nets are a great solution that provides swimmers with a safe space to play without fear of jellyfish swarms. Whether you’re a beach manager or an avid beachgoer, you can rely on these nets to create a safe and comfortable environment. Jellyfish nets come with the added benefit of being an eco-friendly solution that does not harm marine life. So, why not take advantage of this solution and let your guests enjoy their beach experience to the fullest?

FAQS

Ecocoast’s custom jellyfish nets are designed to keep jellyfish out of swimming areas while clearly marking safe zones for swimmers and light watercraft. Ideal for public, private and hotel beaches, the nets offer dependable protection during jellyfish swarms. Made from durable, UV-stabilized materials, they allow water to flow freely while blocking jellyfish. With sustainable antifouling technology and proper installation, they greatly reduce the risk of stings, ensuring a safer, more enjoyable experience in the water.

Yes, seasonal factors such as currents and tides can affect the performance of jellyfish nets. During certain times of the year, stronger currents, higher tides or increased wave activity may place additional stress on the nets, potentially impacting their stability and effectiveness. It is important to consider these seasonal variations when planning installation, as proper anchoring and regular inspections from our marine services team will help ensure the nets remain secure and functional throughout changing conditions.

The nets can be anchored or attached in several ways, depending on the project requirements. They can be supplied as standalone barriers. Alternatively, the nets can be integrated with existing swim-line setups or floating recreational barriers by attaching them as detachable barriers. Both methods are designed for easy maintenance and flexibility, ensuring the nets remain effective and secure throughout their use.

Ecocoast recommends following manufacturer guidelines for regular service, maintenance and inspection to ensure optimal performance and longevity of all net and barrier systems. On-site maintenance and proactive repairs are essential for extending product lifespan. Inspection and cleaning frequency should be tailored to the specific marine environment and level of exposure, with periodic checks recommended after heavy use or significant weather events. All Ecocoast nets come with antifouling treatment as a standard, reducing maintenance needs, but routine cleaning and inspections are still advised to maintain safety and functionality.
