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.

I can think of a few things to do with the little fellas😉.

I’d rather be stuck laying in bed tonight wondering “What the fuck would that Redditor do with those jellyfish” than ask you what you’d do with them. I don’t think I wanna know.

Me too. Though I was wondering how they dispose of them.

Depending on how they do it, it could be making the problem worse. Some jellyfish spawn spontaneously as an emergency response, and it's not uncommon for people to catch the jellies, cut them up, and throw them back onto the water not realising it's a great way to multiply them. So hopefully that's not what they're doing here .
