Orcas have started attacking yachts in the shallow waters of Spain: experts raise alarms.

According to inkorr.com: Mariners visiting the coast of Spain are advised to stay in ports due to changes in orca behavior. These animals have begun attacking yachts near the shore, causing significant concern among marine experts and sailors themselves. Over the past week, there have already been several incidents of orcas ramming sailboats in areas where such attacks had not been observed before.

New attacks have occurred in the Bay of Biscay off the northern coast of Spain. Although several yachts have been attacked, fortunately, no crew members were harmed. Scientists cannot explain the reasons for such aggressive orca behavior, believing it may be a "game" or a "social whim" of a particular group of marine mammals.

Recommendations for sailors

• Stay in port if possible.
• Avoid deep waters and stick to shallow areas.
• In case of contact with orcas, immediately turn off the engine and lower the sails.
• Avoid making loud noises to prevent provoking the animals.
• Do not attempt to drive away the orcas.

Spanish authorities and marine specialists are urging adherence to these rules for safety. Attacks, as experience shows, occur on sailing vessels less than 15 meters long, which in some cases leads to their sinking and indicates the seriousness of the situation.

Additionally, several beaches in Spain have recently been closed due to the appearance of dangerous sea slugs known as "blue dragons," which can pose a threat to humans due to their small size.

The coast of Spain has now become dangerous for sailors due to the new tactics of orca attacks. These animals attack sailing vessels in shallow waters, creating risks for people's safety. Local experts and authorities urge adherence to certain rules to avoid danger. Furthermore, it is important to be cautious on beaches as there may be poisonous sea slugs present.
