abstract = {Gelatinous organisms are key members of the marine environment and have been
around circa 540-520 million years. It is well known that blooms (sudden outbreak of
one species which comes to dominate the plankton for a finite period) are natural
phenomena, which occur seasonally in many marine ecosystems. However, swimming
can be perceived as a “dangerous” activity in the presence of jellyfish blooms and this
can negatively affect the tourist trade. The economic damage is evident and can be
seriously detrimental when tourism is the main source of income, as is the case in many
coastal economies in southern Spain. In recent decades, the proliferation of jellyfish in
coastal waters appears to have increased in both frequency and intensity, producing
negative ecological, social and economic impacts. In some regions, these blooms of
gelatinous organisms have been connected to anthropogenic practices such as
overfishing, pollution, eutrophication, translocation, climate change, and ocean
acidification. Historically, due to a lack of interest in the ecological role of gelatinous
organisms, there is a clear gap of knowledge about their taxonomy, life cycle, ecology
and ecosystem services.},
