"The most fascinating creatures in the ocean"

From Nine To Noon, 10:07 am on 7 June 2017

Kathryn Ryan meets Tasmanian based marine biologist Lisa-ann Gershwin, who's discovered more than 200 species of jellyfish in her career. She explains why jellyfish are proliferating in some marine areas, and talks about some of the myths associated with the creatures she says are the most fascinating in the ocean. Dr Gershwin has published two books: Stung and Jellyfish - A Natural History. She's also developed an app which allows people to easily identify any jellyfish species from all over the world, along with first aid tips.
