Blue Origin said debris from a recent rocket explosion could wash ashore in coming days and weeks from Playalinda Beach south to Cocoa Beach, widening safety concerns along Florida's Space Coast.
The company warned recovered material may include hazardous substances or pressurized components and told the public not to touch suspicious items found on the sand or in the water.
Blue Origin directed people to report possible debris to its recovery hotline at 1-321-222-4355 or by email, and to call 911 if an item poses an immediate danger or is being handled.
Beachgoers said the alert is already changing behavior, with some avoiding the water, while others raised concerns about ocean contamination and the lack of a timeline for full cleanup.
