Every summer hundreds of reports of jellyfish sightings are made to the MCS National Jellyfish Survey – now in its 14th year.

The survey is providing valuable information about where and when jellyfish occur in UK seas amid global reports of a rise in jellyfish numbers.

Dr Peter Richardson, Head of Biodiversity and Fisheries at the Marine Conservation Society said: “We still know relatively little about jellyfish and what drives changes in their numbers, so reporting even a single one can help.”

MCS says that anyone who comes across a jellyfish at sea or on the beach should look but don’t touch, but report their sightings at: www.mcsuk.org.
