Alerta en Uruguay por presencia de Carabelas Portuguesas en playas

HighlightNow

Las autoridades uruguayas advierten a los veraneantes sobre la aparición de Carabelas Portuguesas, organismos marinos tóxicos, en las playas de Rocha y La Paloma. Aunque parecen medusas, no lo son y su picadura puede ser nociva para los humanos. Se sospecha que su presencia inusual puede estar relacionada con el cambio climático y la disminución de sus depredadores naturales.

00:00What are they encountering, Miriam?

00:02Look, with some very rare organisms.

00:05There are people who went to summer camp there, to Uruguay,

00:08and they found these little bugs on the beach.

00:10They are very cute, very aesthetic,

00:13but you have to be careful.

00:14You don't have to get close.

00:16They are called Portuguese skulls.

00:19They look like jellyfish, but in reality they are not.

00:22So, if they bite you, you have to run to the doctor

00:26because they have some toxins,

00:28so they are harmful to the human body.

00:31They began to be observed on some beaches in Uruguay,

00:34in the Rocha area, in the area of La Paloma,

00:37but hey, we have to see what is really going on there

00:40to find out who we are with, Lu.

00:42With Gustavo Descalzi,

00:44who is just going to tell us how this situation is being experienced.

00:49Let's see, let's see, Gustavo.

00:51How is the thing there?

00:53Caramela Nochilla.

00:54Exactly, Caramela Nochilla.

00:58There it is, but that would be, that would be a skull, Nochilla.

01:01Yes, yes, yes, yes.

01:03It is a word game of our companion Pipi Novello,

01:06who loves it, you see?

01:08He loves the discursive thing.

01:11Well, he's a poet, in short.

01:13Basically.

01:13We not only had the stellar presence of Johnny Depp,

01:18but now it is another presence.

01:20There are presences.

01:21This is not so pleasant, this is not so good.

01:24It is a presence, it has been seen on the beaches of Rocha,

01:26and I do want to get out of the humor part a little

01:29to tell you that the authorities in Uruguay say,

01:31do not approach, do not touch them,

01:34because it has a toxin that affects the nervous system.

01:37And then, suddenly, the body can affect it in a different way.

01:41So, no matter how beautiful you see it, blue,

01:44it's kind of striking.

01:45Different, of course, it's very striking.

01:47It's not a jellyfish, it's not a jellyfish.

01:48No, just like that.

01:48I don't know if you've seen any,

01:50but if it looks like in the photos,

01:51the truth is that it is very, very particular.

01:54Yes, yes, yes, just like that, just like that.

01:56And they have a size, more or less,

01:57it tends to be like the size of a hand.

01:59The violet part is like the size of the hand.

02:02Yes, yes.

02:03And the tentacles must be about 15, 20, 30 centimeters.

02:07Well, the tentacles are the ones that have the toxin,

02:10that's why the authorities in Uruguay warn not to touch it.

02:14And if they see one in some square,

02:16that has been seen in some square of Rocha,

02:17they tell the authorities and they remove it.

02:19Now, this type of, let's say, presence,

02:24I'm going to call it that.

02:25Yes.

02:25It has been seen two or three years ago,

02:27it is unusual, it is not from this area,

02:29it has to do with what Adrián Sack was talking about,

02:31with the issue of climate change,

02:32and it also has to do with the fact that the natural predator

02:36has been disappearing, which is a type of turtle,

02:38and that makes it also...

02:41Of course.

02:42It has like that sail, like that crest, it goes sailing.

02:45Now, that it can reach the beaches of the Argentine coast,

02:49don't have the slightest doubt,

02:50because experts say that they are moving,

02:54I am here in front of the Atlantic Ocean,

02:56according to the temperature and salinity,

03:00if the cold current of the south does not enter,

03:03these strange presences, let's call them,

03:06that seem nice, but they are not.

03:08No, of course.

03:09They could move to the beaches of Argentina,

03:12so you have to be careful.

03:13If you see it, don't touch it, call the authorities,

03:16they come and remove it with a cauldron, and that's it.

03:18And there the problem is solved.

03:19Well, but, well, it's true what you say, right?

03:22How climate change, the climate crisis,

03:25or as we like to call it, has these issues, right?

03:28Because when the natural predator disappears,

03:31a species that disappears, or that decreases,

03:34it is not that it disappears, but that it decreases,

03:36the rest are proliferating, and well,

03:39they generate these impacts.

03:40Thank you very much, Gustavo.

03:42We stay there, look what that day is.

03:44And they are occupying other spaces.

03:45Of course, of course.

03:46No, today can't be more beautiful.

03:49It happens with a lot of species.

03:51The day is incredible.

03:54Please.

03:55The day is going to reach 30 and long degrees,

03:58and these days, they say it's going to be,

04:00the best days of January are the ones that come,

04:03experts say.

04:04Sorry, sorry.

04:06Look, no, no, look, I'm going to throw you one

04:09that you didn't tell me,

04:12but you, who are a very follower of her,

04:15you must have it well on the radar.

04:17Today is Susana Jiménez's birthday.

04:21Yes, ma'am, forgive me for forgetting,

04:23for the presence of these boys.

04:25A presence is overshadowing another.

04:28Your, your, dear, your, how am I going to let you pass?

04:32Today is Susana Jiménez's birthday.

04:348.1.

04:36It's more, it's more.

04:38No, don't say, no, no, no.

04:39No, no, the engine, engine 8.1.

04:41No, why?

04:42Why do you have to say the ages,

04:45what's wrong with you?

04:46No, no, no, no.

04:47That delays, Gustavo.

04:49The ages are said and period.

04:51In no way.

04:52It already made me angry, it already made me angry.

04:54Well, we send a big kiss to Susana Jiménez

04:57and to my dad, whose birthday is also today.

05:00In the United States.

05:02A kiss, there it goes.

05:04A kiss for Jorge.

05:05And a kiss to Lorna, who early on started telling me

05:08how you greeted Susana.

05:09You see, you see, now we are fine with Lorna too.

05:13See you, Gustavo, thank you.

05:14And now we return to the city of Buenos Aires
