JellyFish taking over the world - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Global shipping has caused an interesting, if not frightening, invasion of species from distant shores. In the early 90's a colleague discovered a pretty pink jelly in the Petaluma river. I had her send me a specimen which I still have pickled in a jar somewhere. It was determined that it was a Russian form that originated in the Black Sea. The community of Petaluma named it the Pink Petaluma Czarina!
Life has an amazing ability to adapt and balance itself. Now if we can just learn to assist nature without trying to over control every little detail?
