South Korea’s maritime ministry has issued an alert as a rising number of Nomura’s Jellyfish are being located near the coasts of major cities, including Busan and Ulsan.

Nomura’s Jellyfish, a giant species that can grow up to nearly 7 feet in diameter and resides primarily in waters between China and Japan, are invading the South Korean coast as extreme summer heat continues to affect the region. Climate change has been cited as a possible reason for the population increase in Nomura’s Jellyfish.

...South Korea’s national fisheries research and development institute confirmed on Aug. 1 the jellyfish, which can sometimes cause death by envenomation, was expanding rapidly near Busan, South Korea’s second-largest city.
