“I was reading some recent articles about the long term effects of overfishing (besides the obvious decimation of many breeds of fish) and many marine biologists are noting the expansion of jellyfish everywhere in the ocean. These sea nettles were even featured in an outdoor adventure magazine, as swimmers and surfers are noticing their increasing prevalence…changes everywhere.”
