Description
"Spot the JELLYFISH" is a citizen science campaign developed by the Oceanography Malta Research Group at the University of Malta. This initiative is focused on local jellyfish species and is supported by citizens who help in identifying jellyfish found around Malta. It is complemented by a jellyfish guidebook, factsheet, and sting treatment booklet. Through their website, citizens can submit jellyfish sighting reports and track jellyfish in real-time.
