"The sea you don't expect", "What happens over there?"

Satellite monitoring of jellyfish 
Last 19 July started the  ISPRA's dissemination campaign to tell about the specific activities developed by its researchers, in compliance with the shared programs in Europe, both through observation and monitoring of marine environments, and in the field of laboratory research. 
The seventh initiative is dedicated to satellite monitoring of jellyfish

The reasons for these significant presences are many, among the main ones: intensive fishing, which removes predators from them and the increase in temperature which facilitates the development of new species, such as the tropical one, introduced accidentally into the Mediterranean. To keep the problem under observation, it is useful to combine the monitoring campaigns at sea with satellite control capable of predicting the movement of jellyfish in certain geographical areas. ISPRA is committed to developing a method for satellite identification of schools of jellyfish offshore in order to develop a defense system for the areas closest to the coast.
