Jellyfish Are They Retaking Oceans?
There are many types of Jellyfish, and their numbers are increasing exponentially, jellyfish blooms are happening all over the worlds oceans. A lot of types jellyfish have deadly stingers producing terminal poison, their sizes range from an inch in diameter to over 400lbs each one with enough venom to kill many humans.
Japanese fishermen have been encountering giant jellyfish Medusa’s, whilst fishing of the Japan coast by the billions, one way they have been dealing with them is to cut them up and send them back to the ocean. However this has proved to be unwise as a pone death each one releases thousands of spores to start new jellyfish. Another way the Japanese have dealt with them is to start eating them, they are creating safe many dishes made from Jellyfish.
Jelly fish love the polluted ocean waters, they are becoming quite prolific in all seas there seems to be no aquatic habitat they can not populate, the poisonous jellyfish have even been found in the cold north sea, although they are most common around the Great Barrier Reef and Hawaii. Their sporing and growth is stimulated by changes in the water even a small dip or rise in temperature, these fluctuations are quite often caused by dumps of polluted water entering the ocean. The pollution coming down from the Yangtze River washing down into the China Sea and on it to the Sea Of Japan.
Jellyfish have been around for billions of years, and are taking over the oceans once again, in very large numbers, they can lie dormant for many decades as polyps attached to the ocean floor or free floating, then when changes in the water occur they release tiny jellyfish when this happens in large numbers it is known as Jellyfish bloom.
So it would seem that the less we pollute the oceans the better, as large industries are guilty of this action. The individual can do their part in preventing pollution as in this world of information our voices are heard. So in doing our part it makes sense to use a composting toilet as if everyone used one there would be a huge difference in the amount of sewage produced. Composting toilets also require far less water if any and there for need for recycling of it. Neither is there any soil or ground pollution produced from a composting toilet.
