On August 19, according to media reports, a group of young people encountered a large number of jellyfish floating on the sea while boating in southeastern Ukraine. The boat was surrounded by a swarm of jellyfish, making it difficult to move.
Reports say that in Zaporizia, southeastern Ukraine, a group of young people encountered a large number of jellyfish floating on the sea while boating in the Sea of ??Azov. Although the site is a jellyfish habitat, there are many more jellyfish than usual this year.
