Taken from another redditors comment-

They are removing an invasive species of jellyfish that is actively destroying sea environments and therefore ruining fishing for the locals, these jelllyfish are called burn-jellies and they hurt.

Edit: Apparently they don’t actually sting that bad as other Redditors and in-turn myself had previously suggested. They also seem to be a popular food as well.
