Venomous jellyfish sightings quintuple off Korean coast

Sightings of giant Nomura’s jellyfish in Korean waters have increased fivefold compared to the previous year, according to the National Institute of Fisheries Science. The jellyfish, which can grow up to 2 meters in diameter, have spread to new areas including the West and South Seas, arriving two weeks earlier than usual. While the exact cause of the surge remains undetermined, experts attribute potential factors to changes in water temperature, food availability, and ocean currents. The increase raises concerns about a potential rise in sting-related injuries, prompting advisories for beachgoers to avoid skin exposure and seek medical attention if severe symptoms occur.
