The IOI-KIDS programme is this summer engaging children and youngsters, their teachers and parents to help the marine environment by recording the presence and location of various jellyfish species in Maltese coastal waters. |
The IOIKIDS Spot the Jellyfish initiative aims to increase awareness, especially amongst the younger generations, about the local diversity of jellyfish species, through a hands-on exercise involving the reporting of sightings of jellyfish that often swarm close to our shores and beaches. In so doing the initiative would be supplying useful data for local marine scientists and tourist authorities, through a citizen science approach... and aid to avoid those stinging jellies!
