The story highlights a recurring issue at Gravelines with jellyfish. Scientists believe several factors contribute to a rise in jellyfish populations globally, including overfishing of their predators and competitors, warming ocean temperatures, and nutrient runoff from land, which can create ideal breeding conditions. This increase can significantly impact coastal industries like power generation and tourism.
