Massive Jellyfish Swarms in Trieste Gulf Paralyze Fishing
Massive jellyfish colonies have been documented in the Gulf of Trieste, inhabiting both the water surface and deeper layers, causing significant impacts on fishing. Dozens of fishing boats remain inactive while scientists and fishers investigate the growing frequency of this phenomenon and its consequences for the maritime economy. The Italian Oceanographic Institute confirms that the phenomenon is not unprecedented, but impressive drone footage shows the extraordinary extent of the current occurrence.
