Tamara Jones+FollowJellyfish invasion shakes up Texas coastA surprising newcomer is making waves on the Texas coast: the Australian white-spotted jellyfish. While their sting is barely noticeable to humans, these jellyfish are causing big problems for local sea life by outcompeting shrimp and young fish for food. This could mean fewer catches for fishermen and even impact the local economy. Scientists think their arrival is linked to warming oceans and shifting currents, and they’re asking beachgoers to report any sightings. Some chefs are even turning these invaders into unique dishes! Have you spotted any unusual sea creatures lately? Let’s talk about how these changes might affect our community. #Science #TexasCoast #Jellyfish10Share
