Status Updates From Stung!: On Jellyfish Blooms...

Exhaustive and exhausting account of jellyblooms as indicators of ecosystem collapse. I don't need to hear about every single jellybloom recorded in history to understand their significance. Lisa-Anne's commitment to activism, over and above science, is endearing though. She has a good way of defending anecdotal evidence (all our fish literally died, what do you mean you need more data lol).

In NSW between 1950 and 2008, 577 great white sharks and 352 tiger sharks were caught in shark control nets. Over the same period 15,135 other marine animals were caught and killed in nets, including turtles, whales, dolphins, rays, dugongs, and harmless species of sharks. This figure includes 377 of the now critically endangered and harmless grey nurse shark, a number which threatens their future survival.

Jellyfish inherit a weakened ecosystem, and, like spinning straw into gold, they transform something of little value to others into their own perfect world, bite by bite. Page 152

Jellyfish blooms are indicators the ocean environment is in trouble. Humans are causing another mass extinction event.
