They say, being on the sea makes people creative. It happened to me as well and here is my story and a short video about jellyfish.

“My English popular name is Jellyfish. Today I am going to tell you my amazing story, how we can build a jellyfish world under the sea.

First of all, I have 5000 siblings. We were born together from the same mother. Maybe I will have millions more little brothers within one month. We reproduce faster than any other species. Another surprising thing: some of my relatives have incredible power to live forever by becoming young again whenever they get sick or old.

Because of climate change, I am joyful to swim in the warm water. I am also able to survive in harsh conditions such as when the water doesn’t have much oxygen or is polluted. I am good at catching baby fishes (larvae) which are weaker due to the changing conditions. I always win.

My cousin Leidyi (Mnemiopsis leidyi) is living in Europe. A long time ago, they lived only at the east coast of America. But they love travelling like humans do. So they got into ships’ ballast water, traveled across the ocean and found new places to live! Moreover, jellyfish don’t have many enemies these days. We are scared of turtles and sunfish, but now they are disappearing. So we make a “Jellyfish soup” in the ocean, and people are scared of us. But those conditions were caused by humans, don’t blame us.

While you are reading my story, our jellyfish world is becoming larger and larger. “
