Sea Recedes 130 Meters in Paita, Peru, Stranding Rays Amid Tsunami Alert
PAITA, PERU – The sea at El Toril beach in Paita, Peru, dramatically receded by an estimated 100 to 130 meters on Thursday, exposing a vast expanse of the seabed and leaving numerous marine animals, primarily small rays, stranded on the muddy shores. The unusual phenomenon occurred following a tsunami alert, prompting concern among local residents and authorities.Eyewitnesses at the scene reported seeing dozens of small rays flapping on the exposed mud, visibly struggling to return to deeper waters. The receding tide revealed an unprecedented distance from the usual shoreline, extending far beyond typical low tide levels.Local officials have suspended port activities in Paita as a precautionary measure. While the exact cause of the significant sea retreat is under investigation, the incident has heightened awareness of natural hazards in the coastal region. Efforts are underway to monitor the situation and ensure public safety, as well as to assess the impact on marine ecosystems. Residents are advised to stay informed and follow official guidelines.
