Major increase in Lion’s Mane Jellyfish sightings this year

More Lion’s Mane Jellyfish than cuckoos have been recorded on the West Coast of Ireland this year.
The large and sometimes dangerous species of jellyfish are usually confined to the East Coast, typically in waters close to Dublin.
But figures from the National Biodiversity Data centre show that there have been 157 recorded sightings of Lion’s Mane jellyfish this year in Donegal, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Clare and Kerry.
Experts say it could represent a seismic shift in out natural environment.
