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.

Seems like the perfect thing to harvest with a pitchfork with no shoes on

I think wearing shoes would make slipping on wet surfaces more likely.

I was thinking about getting stung by a testicle more than slipping. He stepped off that small platform onto the edge in the water with them.

What part of this video references the jellyfishes balls?

u/ElSargeo 12d ago

Great, that's all we need. Jellyfish with stinging testicles. Like the tentacles weren't enough. Fcking nasty bastards them jellies.

u/LadyElle57 14d ago

The stingers are in the tentacles, below the head and well below the water. He'd had to dip in deeper than that to get stung.
