Scientists, fishermen and beachgoers are seeing Jellyfish in bigger numbers and in places the critters usually aren't found. The New York Times reports : From Spain to New York, to Australia, Japan and Hawaii, Jellyfish are becoming more numerous and more widespread, and they are showing up in places where they have rarely been seen before, scientists say. The faceless marauders are stinging children blithely bathing on summer vacations, forcing beaches to close and clogging fishing nets. But while Jellyfish invasions are a nuisance to tourists and a hardship to fishermen, for scientists they are a source of more profound alarm, a signal of the declining health of the world's oceans. "These Jellyfish near shore are a message the sea is sending us saying, 'Look how badly you are treating me,' " said Dr. Josep-María Gili, a leading Jellyfish expert, who has studied them at the Institute of Marine Sciences of the Spanish National Research Council in Barcelona for more than 20 years. The explosion of Jellyfish populations, scientists say, reflects a combination of severe overfishing of natural predators, like tuna, sharks and swordfish; rising sea temperatures caused in part by global warming; and pollution that has depleted oxygen levels in coastal shallows. ...

The sting came out of nowhere. The swimmer yelped and leaped from the surf at Folly Beach. But there was nothing there in the water. Except a tentacle. Sea nettles have moved in for the summer along the Lowcountry coast, those gooey, saucerlike Jellyfish that dangle tentacles armed with hundreds on hundreds of cells that fire venomous barbs. They sting like a bee. ... Find more results for Jellyfish on RSSMicro.com |

![A Plague of Jellyfish Headed for the U.K. [Climate Disaster]](http://io9.com/assets/images/io9/2008/08/2.jpg)
Yes, yes, the fearsome, spineless, gooey Jellyfish are coming to get us . This weekend, the Times weighs in with this dread tale about how rising "swarms" of Jellyfish worldwide means the death of the ocean. I can't really argue with that, since I don't visit the rest of the world (I am told it's rather humid in parts), but then there's this piece from CBS detailing how the floaty little blobs are causing absolute hell on a certain beach closer to home. "In the waters off Long Beach, N.Y., swimmers aren't the only ones enjoying the surf: Jellyfish are showing up in droves. 'We were here a few weeks ago and there were a lot of Jellyfish. We didn't even go in the water. It was horrible,' one teen told CBS News correspondent Susan Koeppen. And with thousands being stung by Jellyfish this summer, lifeguards at Long Beach are armed with spray bottles filled with alcohol and water to take away the pain, says Koeppen." That's some bullshit right there. Or mass hysteria. Even when there were "droves" of Jellyfish at Long Beach a few weeks back, 90 percent of them were harmless clear ones. Of the red stingy variety, you might spot a few—little girls were scooping them out of the water and watching them jet around in their buckets. For the last two weeks, the beach has been red-Jellyfish-free. By which I mean, there were a few of them drifting around here and there. Because there are always a few of them here and there in the summer. And the ...
Recommended THE FILM Three stories of love and loss collide into each other in "Jellyfish," an Israeli production that's structured much like Paul Haggis's "Crash," but executed with whispers and looks, slipping into pure cinema mode for much of its brief running time. Batya (Sarah Adler) is a withdrawn waitress who finds a young girl (Nicole Leidman) at sea, washed up on shore without parents, leaving Batya as her guardian. The child cracks open the psychological damage inflicted on Batya as she tries to maintain her dreary, colorless life. Keren (Noa Knoller) and Michael (Gera Sandler) are newlyweds looking to salvage their honeymoon after Keren injures her foot, thus cancelling a Caribbean vacation. Filipino caretaker Joy (Ma-nenita De Latorre) is stuck in Israel for work, anxious to return home to her child. Joy is soon hired to care for Malka (Zaharira Harifai), an elderly woman unable ...

clipped by: wildcat Clip Source: airshipworld.blogspot.com Last year Festo surprised everyone with their amazing prototype of the Air_ray a manta ray that swims through the air and the b-IONIC Airfish. We reported on it in a great post which was titled " Airships are just like fish in the sky " Festo is currently at the Hannover Messe 2008 and they brought an just as stunning new project with them. We present the Air Jelly, a Jellyfish that swims through the air. Currently the information about the AirJelly is only available in German at the Festo Website but the pictures speak for them self, of course we also provide you with a direct link to the autotranslated Page in English about the AirJelly The Video on the Website of Festo did not work for me so I uploaded it to YouTube just in case you can not see the "Flim" on the Festo website: Tags: robotics , Jellyfish ...

Lifeguards in the Mediterranean have a new problem, and they have overfishing, pollution, and global warming to thank for it. Stinging Jellyfish invaded beaches off Barcelona a few weeks ago injuring 300 people and sending 11 to the hospital, reports the New York Times . Now patrol boats skim the water with nets and lifeguards post red and yellow flags to warn of approaching swarms. These Jellyfish near shore are a message the sea is sending [to] us saying, 'Look how badly you are treating me' - Dr. Josep-Maria Gili, a Jellyfish expert from the Institute of Marine Sciences of the Spanish National Research Council in Barcelona. This is ripe for a new TV show set on Mediterranean beaches. Call it Jell-Watch . Cue the trailer. "In a world, where .. lifeguards battle overfishing and global warming". Who knows?
