Gandia toma medidas contra la plaga de medusas
Dando tranquilidad a los bañistas este verano
La web municipal de Gandia informó que, un año más, el Ayuntamiento y la Cofradía de Pescadores están organizando una campaña de recogida de medusas en las aguas adyacentes a las playas de Gandia durante los meses de verano. Los primeros barcos en realizar estas acciones de limpieza partieron el 10 de julio y finalizarán sus operaciones el 12 de septiembre.
Esta es también una forma de que los pescadores obtengan ingresos adicionales
En cuanto a la asignación de embarcaciones, la concejala de Pesca, Alícia Izquierdo, explicó que el jueves 8 de julio se realizó un sorteo. Esto fue para determinar cómo los 16 barcos pesqueros que se han sumado a la campaña realizarían 25 viajes en diferentes turnos coordinados por el Gremio.
Respecto a la iniciativa, el responsable de Pesca ha agradecido a la Cofradía de Pescadores su compromiso de sumarse una vez más a la campaña que, además, “ayuda a garantizar la limpieza de las playas, especialmente en temporada turística”.
Por su parte, el presidente de la Junta del Distrito de El Grau, Miguel Ángel Picornell, ha dicho que “el convenio tiene muchas ventajas para el sector pesquero y turístico: el primero, genera un dinero extra muy necesario tras el daño económico provocado por el Covid- Crisis del 19. Y en segundo lugar, los usuarios de nuestras playas se deshacen de las molestas picaduras de medusas”.
¿Qué hacer si te pica una medusa?
Aún así, es una buena idea estar preparado para una eventualidad este verano en la que tendrá un desafortunado encuentro con una medusa. Esto es lo que aconsejan los expertos en caso de sufrir una picadura de medusa:
- Ponte en contacto con un salvavidas, que debe estar equipado y capacitado para ayudar de inmediato,
- Intente mojar la herida con vinagre, bicarbonato de sodio disuelto en agua o agua salada,
- Enfríe el área de la picadura aplicando hielo durante unos 5-10 minutos,
- Evite las infecciones: proteja la herida con jabón antiséptico,
- Si el dolor no desaparece, busque ayuda médica.
