Dangerous marine organisms stings, including injuries by stingrays, are not uncommon in coastal and lakeside regions of the world. Although the majority of cases are minor, there is the potential for more severe injuries, particularly with stonefish and stingray envenomations. There are surprisingly few series of venomous fish stings in the world literature, despite the relative commonness of these injuries. Marine animal injuries in Jordan are restricted to the southern part of the country that is in the Gulf of Aqaba. It is a seasonal problem, usually in the summer months. Penetrating wounds, stings and inoculation of venom are common marine animal injuries to unwary walkers during the summer season. According to national reports, when many families would visit the Gulf of Aqaba to spend their summer holidays, it was observed that 72% of patients were visitors rather than locals. It is obvious that dangerous marine organisms could represent a potential health risk in one the only access by sea to Jordan. Prevention of such possible risks in human is of great importance. To date, however, there is no effective treatment of acute injury induced by venomous fish stings. However, studies of this subject are rather limited. Therefore, understanding the distribution of dangerous marine organisms, their habitat and ecotoxicity along the Jordanian coast of the Gulf of Aqaba is beneficial and critical to plan new strategies in order to reduce its effects.
