Scotland jellyfish alert as beachgoers warned of increasing stingers this summer

Scots beachgoers are being urged to report any jellyfish sightings to conservationists this summer.

The Marine Conservation Society has launched its 20th annual Wildlife Sighting' programme to monitor developments in UK waters. While the sea creatures are common all year round, the warm summer weather increases their numbers.

The charity hopes that reports will help them document ocean changes, like warming waters, that are possibly a result of climate change. Those who want to report a sighting can do by filling out an online form the Marine Conservation Society's website, which offers sources to help identify any jellyfish you see.
