(HawaiiNewsNow) - Look out for box jellyfish along Oahu’s south shore.
That’s the message from city officials as Honolulu Ocean Safety responded to 156 jellyfish stings on Monday, from Waikiki beaches and Ala Moana Beach.
EMS also treated a 15-year-old boy for a sting and transported him to the emergency room in stable condition.
The city has posted warning signs in the area, and a box jellyfish advisory is in effect for south-facing shores.
Jellyfish are known to cause severe stings to individuals. The public is asked to use caution when entering waters in the area.
Officials also advise beachgoers to visit any lifeguard tower for more updates or assistance.
Heads up, Oahu drivers: Roughly 1,700 parking meters can now accept payments through a new mobile app in an effort to modernize, the city announced Wednesday.

The app is called “Park Smarter,” and can be downloaded for free on both iOS and Android smart devices.
Parking fees will remain the same, and the meters will still accept coins.
This new payment method comes after many digital parking meters in Honolulu stopped taking credit cards after Verizon shut down its 3G network.
