WOW…. check this out snorkelers! Geesh, I need to live closer to the water (I live in the burbs of Chicago). California has all the fun…
Check out the rare dark jellyfish (Black Sea Nettle) that is washing up in the San Diego coast. These beautiful creatures can grow 3 feet across and up to 30 feet long tentacles and if you are curious, they do sting.
Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, has a great video to watch. The Black Sea Nettle has found its way to the beaches of San Diego in the past and in 2007, they captured the jellyfish and took pictures, made the video and wrote the story on the Black Sea Nettle Jellyfish.
So grab your snorkel mask and snorkel and go check out the Black Sea Nettle… but please be very careful, wear a full Henderson Lycra Suit and do not touch the jellyfish, you will get stung.
