Orange sea not a concern, says government

The government says not to worry if you've seen the sea turn orange!

Orange-coloured sea water has been reported in some places around the Island's coast, but there's a perfectly natural explanation for it.

It's because of a species of marine plankton which can be found in Manx waters during the summer.

Though not harmful to humans, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is advising people not to swim in these spots, as it can cause minor skin irritation and also attract jellyfish.
