Talk by Dr. Lucas Brotz, Scientist, UBC

Jellyfish populations are increasing in numerous ecosystems around the globe. Not surprisingly, these increases are not uniform across time and space. So why are jellyfish increasing in some places and not others? What are the consequences for humans and ecosystems? And what, if anything, can we do to manage or prevent increasing jellyfish blooms? Lucas will tell us about the current research and theories about jellyfish.
