Join them on June 14, 2023, from 6 pm for the QNHG Monthly Talk at the National Museum of Qatar.

Jellyfish blooms and outbreaks in the coastal marine environment are growing worldwide issues. They pose a threat to human coastal marine activities, and to human and environmental health.

Jellyfish blooms result from a variety of natural hydro-climatic factors and anthropogenic activities, including fishing and overexploitation of living resources, eutrophication, coastal constructions, and maritime transport combined with environmental and climatic changes.

During this talk, we will discover the role and importance of jellyfish in marine ecosystems, the main ecological and anthropogenic drivers behind jellyfish species outbreaks in the Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf, and associated risks.
