“The sea snake, known as the’Bokin’, is usually very calm and will not harm people unless it is provoked.”

Authorities in the two emirates have urged beach visitors to watch out for sea snakes. They should not approach the creatures they might find.

On Thursday, the Abu Dhabi government media office issued a new reminder.

“Sea snakes, known as’bukin’, are usually calm and will not harm people unless they are provoked. They swim to shallow waters for food and reproduction. You can see them swimming in open water or near the beach, especially It’s on Saadiyat Island and Abu Dhabi Corniche,” it wrote on Twitter.

If you find a snake, you should not touch it or try to catch it. You can call 800 555 to report the sighting to the Abu Dhabi Government Call Center.

The media office added: “Anyone bitten by a sea snake must go to the hospital immediately.”
