Cuba’s Beaches Open Amid Rumors

HAVANA TIMES, May 26 — The National Aquarium of Cuba denied rumors circulating that sharks were arriving on the coasts of the island as a result of the BP oil spill affecting the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.  In a press release the Aquarium also said there is no need to close beaches because of the presence of lionfish which has caused concern among the population, reported IPS.

The authorities recommend bathing at sandy beaches since the lionfish prefer rocky coastal areas, where precaution should be taken.
