Here’s an ecological problem I’ll bet you’ve not heard about unless you’ve traveled by Linblad ships recently. \u00a0Maybe not even then. \u00a0Read the whole review<\/a>, well worth it, at New York Review of Books.<\/p>\n (Box Jelly, aka, the most poisonous creature on the planet.)<\/p>\n “From the Arctic to the equator and on to the Antarctic, jellyfish plagues (or blooms, as they\u2019re technically known) are on the increase. Even sober scientists are now talking of the jellification of the oceans. And the term is more than a mere turn of phrase. Off southern Africa, jellyfish have become so abundant that they have formed a sort of curtain of death, \u201ca stingy-slimy killing field,\u201d as Gershwin puts it, that covers over 30,000 square miles.”<\/p>\n quote from: \u00a0Stung!
