Hai vor Menorca gesichtet: Schwimmen verboten, Strand 20 Stunden lang gesperrt

hai vor menorca gesichtet: schwimmen verboten, strand 20 stunden lang gesperrt

Ein Blauhai ist für den Menschen potenziell gefährlich.

Ein Blauhai hat vor der Küste der spanischen Insel Menorca die Behörden in Alarmbereitschaft versetzt. Der Strand der betroffenen Gemeinde Es Mercadal wurde 20 Stunden lang gesperrt, wie das Nachrichtenportal Menorca Info berichtet.

Rettungsschwimmer hatten am Montag den Hai bemerkt und daraufhin Alarm geschlagen. Die rote Warnflagge wurde am Strand gehisst, was Anwohnern und Touristen signalisierte, dass das Schwimmen untersagt ist.

Sichtungen dieser Art kommen auch auf der Insel Mallorca immer mal wieder vor. Vor einigen Jahren wurde etwa ein Hai vor einem der Strände von Illetes bei Palma gesichtet. Auch tote Exemplare wurden wiederholt angespült. Oft handelt es sich um kranke Tiere, die gesunden halten in der Regel einen deutlichen Abstand zur Küste.

Blauhaie kommen in allen Weltmeeren vor. Ausgewachsene Tiere können bis zu 3,50 Meter groß und bis zu 200 Kilogramm schwer werden. Obwohl Blauhaie für Menschen als potenziell gefährlich gelten, sind Angriffe recht selten. 2023 gab es insgesamt etwa 69 Hai-Angriffe weltweit, von denen zehn tödlich verliefen. Beim Blauhai ist es in der Regel umgekehrt. Er zählt zu den beliebtesten Fangfischen weltweit und wird vom Menschen gerne gegessen.
