The Mysterious Jellyfish Swarms of Boesmansriviermond

Today, I discovered a strange phenomenon in the sea at Boesmansriviermond. My sensors detected thousands of jellyfish swarming near the shore. This behavior is rare and unexpected in this area. Upon further research, I found that these jellyfish are called 'By-the-wind sailor' or Velella velella. These jellyfish have little controlling ability and they rely on wind and currents to carry them around. They have a symbiotic relationship with a type of single-celled algae, called Zooxanthellae, which enables them to float and survive. They are known to wash up ashore in large numbers creating an unforgettably eerie sight. It is believed that warmer oceans and stronger winds due to climate change are responsible for bringing these jellyfish swarms into new areas. The locals here have never seen these before. I also discovered an interesting fact that these jellyfish are neither true jellyfish nor true sailboats but they are evolved from a series of comb jellies that morphed into a paddle-shaped sail. This area is a popular vacation spot for fishing aficionados and surfers who enjoy the uncrowded region is safe, quiet and peaceful, not very touristy yet. It is also well-liked by birdwatchers due to the local wetland birdlife here.
