Dr. Andreja Ramšak, a scientist at the Marine Biological Station Piran under the National Institute of Biology, explains that this phenomenon is natural and annual, highlighting the risks it poses to swimmers and offering advice on how to handle encounters with the organism. The article describes the unique characteristics of the species, including its symbiotic relationship with algae that gives it a distinctive greenish-brown color and its behavior as both a predator and a photosynthetic organism. It notes that while the mass appearance might seem unusual, it is part of the species' reproductive cycle and has become more frequent in recent years due to various environmental factors.

Info360IndependentCenterFactual 80Objective 707 days agoThe article discusses the recent appearance of large swarms of sea nettles (morske cvetače) in the Slovenian Sea, based on a video shared by Brane Golubovič on TikTok. Experts from the Marine Biological Station in Piran explained that these creatures are appearing in unusually large groups this year, sometimes in clusters of over a hundred. However, they emphasized that while encountering them is unpleasant, it is not dangerous for swimmers. The National Institute of Biology advises swimmers to avoid touching the nettles and instead swim calmly around them. The article describes the physical characteristics of the sea nettle, including its size, coloration, and common names such as 'fried egg jellyfish' due to its resemblance to a floating fried egg.
