jellyfish blooms
Jellyfish blooms occur when large numbers of jellyfish gather in a specific area, often due to favorable conditions like warm water temperatures, abundant food, and reduced predators. These blooms can cover vast areas and impact marine ecosystems, fisheries, and coastal activities. Factors such as climate change, overfishing, and pollution contribute to their increase by creating an environment where jellyfish can thrive and reproduce rapidly. While they are a natural part of marine ecosystems, their sudden and massive appearances highlight changes in ocean health and can sometimes cause problems for humans and marine industries.
