Costa Brava resorts are facing an unprecedented jellyfish invasion due to rising sea temperatures, with a staggering 7,500 individuals seeking medical help for stings this summer alone.
The jellyfish are becoming more common and increasing both their seasonal and regional distribution, with cycles of abundance shortening from an average of eight years to just two.
Climate change has expedited reproduction rates for jellyfish, causing troubling spikes in jellyfish populations along the Catalan coast, affecting both beachgoers and local ecosystems.
While most jellyfish are harmless, the presence of dangerous species like the Portuguese man o'war necessitates vigilance, especially as the MedusApp provides timely updates for beachgoers.
