Last yr , roaming mega - face pack of jellyfish wipe out an integral Irish Salmon River farm sprout with 100,000 Pisces and forced the closures of several beaches in the U.K. In some country , jellyfish have become so populous that they ’ve taken over : 90 percent of the Black Sea ’s fauna are jellyfish ( pictured ) . Of course climate variety and overfishing are the suit . Warmer urine plus the reasoning by elimination of the jellyfish ’s raw predators allow the delicate , bite puppet to reproduce in unprecedented numbers . At least the Welsh and Irish are doing something about it . A new program starting up at Swansea and Cork Universities call EcoJel will devote over half a million pound to the field of the jellyfish invasion . The ( literally ) brainless creatures will be tagged so their migration patterns and preferent environment can be give chase . And investigator will also look at the encroachment the wiggly Cnidiarians have on coastal ecosystem . Very little is have a go at it about jellyfish , so the scientist take in this as an opportunity to learn as much as they can . Or a opportunity to feed a tasty Modern sea - going treat . Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones indicate :
[ The Portuguese man-of-war ] could allow an eco - tourer draw for recreational divers . The project will also explore the potential of harvest home Portuguese man-of-war in a sustainable room for intellectual nourishment to export to Asiatic market .
That ’s the spirit : Climate change is an chance , not a tragedy ! We can all start eating more jellyfish , or go on tours to see them . EcoJel[Swansea University viaTreeHugger ]
