Jellyfish Invade Monastir
Monastir port has seen a dense and unusual proliferation of jellyfish—a phenomenon known as a “jellyfish bloom,” usually associated with autumn and with rising sea temperatures during summer. Researcher Malak Shaarana attributed its worsening to climate change, overfishing, and the decline of sea turtles, which prey on jellyfish. One species present is *Rhizostoma pulmo*, which can cause skin irritation and burns but is not fatal. She warned that continued ecological imbalances could harm biodiversity and fish stocks, and called for action against indiscriminate fishing and pollution, protection of sea turtles and their nesting sites, and stronger environmental monitoring and research.
