This morning, Tuesday 13.2.24/XNUMX/XNUMX, reports were received from swimmers about large jellyfish at Kiryat Haim's bathing beach. The find - a jellyfish with a size of one hundred and twenty centimeters - an uncommon and undesirable size.
fill the sea
During the dive, I came across 15 jellyfish with an average size of ninety cm. The phenomenon is very rare. Not because of their appearance in winter, but because of their enormous size.
Due to their size and the difficult visibility conditions, it was not possible to photograph them completely underwater, so we will be content with their photos staying on the beach.
What is the summer going to look like?
Gonads (reproductive systems) loaded with eggs were seen in some of the large jellyfish. The approximate time from the moment a jellyfish egg hatches until it becomes an adult is ninety days.
So - what will summer look like? In relation to the given situation, it is difficult to answer that. Let's hope that the jellyfish will not arrive, because at this size it is already a significant problem. For example, even after swimming a reasonable distance from them, I felt strong pain for over two hours.
Oh well, the main thing is that they don't arrive in the summer.
Hello Queen
They are ejected with the waves and die, their landing place depends on the currents and waves.
Why are they dead? Why were they thrown out? To the beach and not swimming for another mistake?
Amazing photos! It seems that the jellyfish are really huge in size
A rare and beautiful event of nature:) Are the jellyfish that reached the beach already dead?
Also, what is their lifespan? Very interesting and fascinating
Thank you Motti Mandela.
came to vote.
Why is the state not dealing with this problem?
On Saturday at Gali Gal beach in Nahariya, I came across the huge jellyfish, photographed them and uploaded them to my Facebook page.
Carmel Gardens.
I took a walk last week at the Carmel beach and I smelled jellyfish so I searched and finally found one lying on the beach. Let's hope they were early and won't be in the summer just like last year.
Hello Yael
No cannibal rescuer should bother with them.
They are heavy over ten kg at least and the hunting arms are loaded with venom causing damage they will fall apart by themselves.
It seems that every year it gets worse.
More jellyfish
Their size is size..
Will the muscles of the handsome rescuers be enough to lift the jellyfish from the beach or are tractors already required?
Yes, during the morning swim yesterday-Tuesday, at Dado Beach in front of Sukkah 3 towards the north until the break in front of Meridian, there are monstrous jellyfish. There was good visibility so we didn't get burned. And yet, when going out on the beach and from a lack of attention after taking off a suit, a burn all over the left side that by evening had passed. Have a nice swim everyone.
The climate all over the world is out of balance
A terrible Haifa trouble, which cannot be linked to Kalish.
To all the dear writers.
The jellyfish is a very stinging animal, in this case the size and quantity changes the curve for the worse.
They burn very hard and are dangerous to the face, so winter swimmers should go in and be careful of them.
It is better to receive them in the winter than in the summer when the citizens, exhausted by the situation, can enjoy themselves and wash away their troubles in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea that kisses Haifa.
Muti, you are a champion. Thanks for your interesting articles and amazing photos
Thank you for the information
Great Motty Mendelssohn!!!...what a surprising news
I got stuck in one like this a few days ago :/ because of the visibility I didn't see it in time to dodge... looks like jelly, feels like iron nails. Left an ugly mark on me
hi lucy
The ones from this morning are bad
Thank you Rafol.
Well done my friend Motty Mendelssohn.
I remember at the age of 9 or 10, while visiting Barcelona, I was with my mother at the beach. I went into the water a little and felt a very strong whipping on his legs. I screamed and when I came out of the water I was like a zebra!
My mother immediately took sand and sea water and put it on me.
An unforgettable experience More than 60 years have passed.
Wow... I was intrigued!!
The climate is a factor in these unusual phenomena.
