In a contribution to Facebook, Doc said that there are four types of sea lines/Kraiten in New Zealand – everyone is protected after the Wildlife Act.

It is illegal to harm or harass the snakes or own part of them.

“During the summer months, when the water is warmer, they occasionally wash on our beaches. It is too cold for you to survive for a long time, but they are very toxic and should be avoided, ”said Doc in the post.

Anyone who sees a seaside snake should not try to bring them back into the water, but immediately to call them up for advice, said Doc.

“Dogs are particularly interested in you and if you or your dog are bitten, you should seek medical help immediately.”
