Jellyfish Bloom
Posted: Sat Apr 15, 2023 2:40 pm
We did a dive this morning at Ft. Worden, and inside the calm Marine Science Dock area there were thousands, millions of small jellyfish in the top ~4ft. Everything from pea and thimble sized medusae up to big ctenophore walnuts with iridescent cilia, maybe some siphonophores or salps mixed in too. Lots of different species.
Is anybody else seeing this? It's the most magical thing I've seen in a long time.
I want to go back out and snorkel it with a camera but the weather gods are getting pissy so it will have to wait.
