HAGÅTÑA (The Guam Daily Post) — The Department of Agriculture Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources is warning beachgoers to be on a lookout for the Indo-Pacific man-of-war.
Men-of-war are expected to be seen during the months of November through February and have been sighted from Ritidian to Talo’fo’fo’.
“The public should be aware that they can sting even if washed up on the beach and dead,” DAWR said in a press release.
