In the last decade, the proliferation and arrival of jellyfish on our beaches has created public alarm which demands an objective, serious response from the scientific community. The problem caused in the oceans by humanity’s mistakes has no easy solution in the short term. However, the situation of our beaches does have solutions, and these involve proper, efficient management of the problem. We study how we can do it, based on studies of the biology of the species, on the factors that cause them to arrive on our beaches and on a series of effective protocols to avoid stings and attend to people affected by jellyfish stings quickly and safely.
Our proposals are based on providing accurate information and developing treatments based on rigorous scientific studies of the problems suffered by people who are stung.
We seek effective protective measures and appropriate, easy-to-use treatments.
