It was wonderful to see these Chrysaora achlyos jellyfish this year. They are quite rare in shallow water. Last "run" of them was 10 years ago. I saw them nearly every Yukon dive early in the Summer. They are long gone now but the memory of swimming next to a 16ft long jelly will stay with me for ever.

Attached is a PDF from Lisa-Ann Gerswin, Phd of Australia. She specialized in jellyfish and was thrilled to help me id this one.
