Jellyfish Action & Awareness Campaign
The Jellyfish Action & Awareness Campaign will establish a cross border ‘Jellyfish Action Advisory Group’ that will involve experts from the water safety authorities, hospitals, other medical professionals, local authorities and scientists. Its aim is to facilitate the implementation of a Jellyfish Action Protocol that aims to develop a user-friendly guide for the treatment and prevention of jellyfish stings. Currently there exists a lot of misinformation about how to treat jellyfish stings.
As part of an awareness campaign, at least 32 workshops/talks will be carried out through out the cross-border region. This intensive programme of talks will help to embed knowledge of jellyfish and their associated impacts under predicted climate change scenarios amongst talk participants. This capacity building will assist stakeholders in local areas to address coastal management problems regarding jellyfish nuisance blooms in the future.
