Event Details

Jellyfish have received a lot of attention on Long Island in recent years. These “blobs of summer” - as one researcher coined them – have turned up in our waters in increasing numbers due to climate change and warming waters. Find out why jellyfish are a growing concern among scientists and swimmers alike and how local research is helping us understand the role of this natural predator in Long Island waters. Join Professor of Biology and Marine Biology Dr. Marianne E. McNamara, from Suffolk County Community College for this informative presentation.
