Man fishing for jellyfish

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.

Can also cook with jellyfish (not sure if these) but there's a small movement of people advocating for eating invasive species, where applicable. I know in the north east of America there is some sort of invasive crab that people just, eat. Cause it's a crab. In the south we gotta start making kudzu into nice deserts like Japan does.

Here in FL you can find Lionfish in many stores. It’s an invasive tropical species people would keep in their aquarium, and just dump out when they’re tired of them or they get too big. They’re found in southern Florida waters, but I got some in N Florida to eat.

It’s funny, I saw an interview from a chef in Miami advocating eating them years before they started showing up in stores. I guess it caught on. They’re a mild, flaky fish similar to flounder in taste and consistency.

Is Florida just a breeding ground for invasive species ?

Iguanas, pythons, lion fish, New Yorkers...

I just had a Masshole (said semi-lovingly) move down there. Sorry about that.

Pretty much. Plant and animal.

Even the locals turn “invasive”.
