  6. Associated Press: Florida’s Jellyfish Museum is dedicated solely to the mesmerizing floating predators. “The private Jellyfish Museum in Pompano Beach, Florida, just north of Fort Lauderdale, is believed to be the first museum in the United States dedicated solely to the translucent invertebrates, and one of the few such spaces in the world, according to the city and the museum’s founders.

  8. Did not expect to have Alabama Gulf of Mexico Coast jellyfish* stings PTSD from 8 minutes into a horror movie (The Devil's Mouth. Set in Thailand). Guess that affected me more than I thought. Might explain why I'm not a beach person besides the sand getting everywhere.

    A jellyfish lies on the shore near the Gravelines nuclear power plant in Gravelines, northern France. The nuclear plant in northern France shut down three reactors after a swarm of jellyfish clogged pumps used to cool the units.

  14. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋🦴 Chinese scientists piloting the submersible Fendouzhe in the southeast #IndianOcean found fossil sites spanning 1,200 km at depths up to 7,000 m.

    The #bones belong mostly to beaked #whales, with the oldest dating back 5.3 million years. Living #jellyfish, brittle stars, and bone-boring #worms still call these ancient carcasses home, allowing whale fall to serve as a #deepsea #ecosystem.

    Soyuz-2.1b missile launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome - But what is its purpose? And why does it spray so much stuff in the atmosphere?

  16. #Jellyfish Keep Attacking #NuclearPowerPlants

    By Gabriel Geiger
    November 2, 2021

    "Jellyfish are continuing to clog the cooling intake pipes of a nuclear power plant in Scotland, which has previously prompted a temporary shutdowns of the plant.

    "The #TornessNuclearPowerPlant has reported concerns regarding jellyfish as far back as 2011, when it was forced to shut down for nearly a week—at an estimated cost of $1.5 million a day—because of the free-swimming marine animals.

    "In a short comment to Motherboard, #EDFEnergy, which runs the Torness plant, said that 'jellyfish blooms are an occasional issue for our power stations,' but also said that media reports claiming the plant had recently been taken offline because of jellyfish are 'inaccurate.' '[There were] no emergency procedures this or last week related to jellyfish or otherwise,' a spokesperson said. [Um, did they previously work for #TEPCOLies?]

    " 'Like many other seaside power plants, the Torness plant uses seawater to prevent overheating. While there are measures in place to prevent aquatic life from entering the intake pipes, according to the #BulletinOfTheAtomicScientists, they are no match for the sheer number of jellyfish that come during so-called 'jellyfish blooms.'

    " 'Usually, screens prevent aquatic life and similar debris from being drawn into the power plants’ cooling system,' the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists wrote in a 2015 blog post. 'But when sufficiently large volumes of jellyfish or other aquatic life are pulled in, they block the screens, reducing the volume of water coming in and forcing the reactor to shut down.'

    "While the case in Scotland has once again spotlighted concerns regarding the jellyfish and potential power plant shutdowns, these concerns are far from new. In 2008, a swarm of jellyfish shut down a nuclear power plant [#DiabloCanyon -- which had another incident in 2024] in #California, and three years later the same occurred at a plant in Japan [#Shimane]. In 2017, jellyfish clogged a power plant in Israel [#Hadera]."

  17. And another set of misc photos from the same dives end of May with @vivia.

    Featuring: two mediterranean feather stars, an umbraculum umbraculum nudibranch on an orange sponge, a dead fan mussel completely covered in black sponge, and solitary jellyfish near the surface.

  18. @encarsia I don't recall there being a different entrance for the #BerlinZoo and its aquarium when we visited, but I do still have pictures from when I visited it with @Siiw, including those #jellyfish :)
    As well as these cute little #reptiles, and 'little' elephant.

    Thanks for getting me to look back at my pictures and relive memories of a nice weekend. :)
