    I've been reading jellyfish stories like this for a while now. Personally I've seen a lot of jellyfish around the coast out here and even up Petaluma river.

    "Thousands of holidaymakers in the Mediterranean have been stung by jellyfish as huge swarms of the creatures invade coastal waters.
    ....

    Marine biologists blame hot dry weather for bringing jellyfish closer to the shore, and say overfishing may be increasing jellyfish numbers."
