“We live in their world,” said Dauphin Island Mayor Jeff Collier. “Whether it’s alligators or sharks or jellyfish, we know they are there. And they end up in places they are not normally seen.” 🐊🦈🪼 What to know about beaches, wildlife and the Gulf:
An alligator was spotted swimming ashore at a beach along Dauphin Island in May.
Purple flags are likely to be more common in the coming months as jellyfish and other stinging marine life find their way near the Gulf shorelines during the months of July and August. “Sharks get a bad rep,” said Lt. Melvin Shepard, chief of staff with the Gulf Shores Fire Rescue Department. “This where they live. We need to understand that on any given day, there are sharks swimming within 10 feet of people, and they are not biting people.”A small bear swam in from the Gulf and ran onto the beach, ran past umbrellas and chairs, and kept going.
Said Steury, “Alligators prefer freshwater, but it’s my understanding they can tolerate saltwater for a short period of time and will sometimes be found in the ocean as they move from play to place.”
