Marine experts are conducting tests to determine the nature of the gelatinous masses, but the investigation could take months to yield definitive answers.
So far, preliminary analysis has ruled out a variety of biological and man-made substances. Products such as petroleum lubricant, Styrofoam, and biofuel have been dismissed as possible sources, while natural explanations, including whale vomit and sea sponges, have also been ruled out.
Authorities are urging the public to avoid contact with the blobs until more information is available. The investigation remains ongoing as experts work to identify the substances and assess any potential risks to the marine ecosystem or public health.
