“Jellyfish are an excellent bellwether for the environment,” explains Jacqueline Goy, of the Oceanographic Institute of Paris. “The more jellyfish, the stronger the signal that something has changed.”
i m a publik scewl teechur not a marine biologist, but since when have jellyfish set an eco standard? Did she just pull this out of her butt?
Ok, so the jellyfish are becoming too numerous. Other than sea turtles, what eats them? I know the fishing nets that are used here on the east coast have turtle “escape” hatches to help cut down on the collateral catch.
