    It’s not mentioned here, but I remember seeing a TV programme documenting credible Great White shark sightings in UK waters. Even as far North as Scotland. With some of the biggest seal populations in the world, and water temperatures well within their limit, some scientists wonder why Great Whites aren’t here!

    Spike in #jellyfish sightings prompts coastal safety warnings across #Maine

    #SouthernMaine communities advise beachgoers to stay alert with increased jellyfish sightings.

    MAINE, USA — "Coastal communities in southern Maine are warning beachgoers to stay alert after a rise in jellyfish sightings, including the presence of large #LionsManeJellyfish and #MoonJellies along the shoreline.

    "Municipal officials and public safety departments have issued safety advisories in recent days for swimmers, families, and pet owners visiting local beaches.

    " 'Today, you may notice our lifeguards flying a purple flag alongside the green flag,' the #OgunquitME Fire Department said in a social media post. 'This indicates the presence of marine life hazards—specifically an increase in lion’s mane and moon jellyfish in our local waters, as well as at other beaches along the Maine coast.'

    "While most jellyfish encounters are not harmful, officials said there have been 'a few instances of jellyfish stings locally.' Lion’s mane jellyfish, in particular, can deliver painful stings that remain potent even after the jellyfish wash ashore.

    "In #EliotME, police issued a warning after recent sightings near Dead Duck at the Eliot Boat Basin. The department urged caution, especially for families with dogs.

    " 'Dogs are especially at risk,' the Eliot Police Department said. 'Curious sniffing or contact can lead to serious injury or illness.'

    "Officials recommend keeping pets and young children away from the water’s edge if jellyfish are visible. In addition to avoiding contact, beachgoers are encouraged to report sightings to lifeguards.

    "At #WillardBeach in #SouthPortlandME, a nearly five-foot-wide lion’s mane jellyfish was spotted over the weekend, according to the city’s parks and recreation department. Lifeguards have been trained to safely remove jellyfish that wash ashore using tools like shovels.

    " 'If you see one, don’t touch it,' the city advised in a public post. 'They sting. Observe it—they’re interesting to watch and pretty too.'

    "Those interested in helping marine researchers track #JellyfishSightings can report #observations through regional #CitizenScience platforms or agencies like the #GulfOfMaineResearchInstitute or #BigelowLaboratory for Ocean Sciences.

    "In the meantime, officials are reminding visitors to enjoy Maine’s beaches safely and stay informed."

  12. From yesterday's adventures on the ocean. In waters between Cowichan Bay & Saltspring Island.

    Cooking some crabs on the boat. Watching harbour seals aka ocean puppies swim around. Checking out tons of moon jellies by Maple Bay.

  13. All the other #Jellyfish laughed when Leopold started researching the #Armadillo for a personal project. But now that tourist season was peaking, he was the only one who could safely navigate the bay.

    Alle anderen #Qualle lachten, als Leopold anfing, das #Gürteltier für ein persönliches Projekt zu recherchieren. Aber jetzt, da die Touristensaison ihren Höhepunkt erreichte, war er der einzige, der sicher durch die Bucht navigieren konnte.
