　　荃灣五個泳灘被有毒海毛蟲「攻陷」後，毗鄰屯門黃金泳灘昨亦告「失守」，救生員早上於泳灘淺水地方檢獲數條海毛蟲，幸而沒有泳客被刺傷，食環署即時張貼通告及作出廣播，提醒泳客小心。有泳客指暢泳時會特別留意，遠離海毛蟲，也有泳客表示怕怕，只在沙灘曬太陽。香港政府拯溺員總工會在其Facebook專頁，公布黃金泳灘等泳灘有海毛蟲出沒的最新消息，方便市民了解。

　　黃金泳灘救生員於昨早上在防鯊網範圍內的泳灘岸邊，檢獲數條海毛蟲，並用器皿盛載牠們，到有合適的水流出現，便會於防鯊網以外位置放生，任由牠們隨水流漂浮到遠離泳灘的海域。

Fast-spreading poisonous caterpillars now conquer the Golden Beach

　　After the five beaches in Tsuen Wan are "conquered" by poisonous sea caterpillars, now the Golden Beach near Tuen Mun also "falls into enemy hand". Lifeguards seized several sea caterpillars in the beach's shallow-water area yesterday morning. Fortunately now swimmer was hurt. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department immediately put up notices and made broadcast to alert swimmers. Some swimmers said they would keep their eyes open to keep themselves far away from sea caterpillars. Some other swimmers said they were afraid and would just take a sunbath at the beach. The Hong Kong Government Lifeguards General Union (HKGLGU) releases latest news on its Facebook page about beaches haunted by sea caterpillars, to keep the public updated.

　　Yesterday morning, lifeguards at the Golden Beach seized several sea caterpillars near the shore in the beach's protective enclosure behind the shark net. They put the caterpillars into a container and will drop them into the water outside the shark protection net when the tidal current is right, to let them drift with the current to a sea area far away from the beach.
