Global warming is good for jellyfish




If you're a fan of jellyfish and don't care about global warming, today we have some great news for you! While some species are being threatened from global warming, jellyfish are thriving from it. But for how long isn't so clear.

Today, off the coast of Alaska, jellyfish are about 40 times more abundant than they were in 1980. In the 1990's, scientists and fishermen saw a huge increase in the number of jellyfish. They also saw jellyfish living in places they've never been able to live before. This is due to warming oceans.

In 2000 however, jellyfish levels began to even out and stop increasing. This is because ocean temperatures are still rising, and jellyfish can only thrive in certain temperatures. Warm is good, but too warm will kill them off, and that's what has scientists worried. As temperatures near the equator rise, jellyfish will continue migrating north and south into cooler water, until there's no more cool water left.
