He said it’s possible that men o’ war are becoming more frequent in northern latitudes, though it’s hard to tell without specific data across time. Still, their presence isn’t new: Man o’ war sightings in the Massachusetts area have occurred since the late 1800s, Collins noted, and the animals are more abundant in warmer months. “We’ve got these pretty significant southwest winds, warm air temperatures, warm water temperatures, and the incoming tide in concert with the strong southerly winds has been bringing the men o’ war in,” Bonnetti said, pointing to similar weather patterns and sightings in other towns.Īllen Collins, a zoologist at the Smithsonian Institution and director of NOAA’s National Systematics Laboratory, said that while factors like the shape of a coastline can influence the prevalence of the animals washing ashore, wind patterns are the driving factor in bringing them closer.
