Ugh, that is so bad. I spent so many beautiful summers on Costa Brava (the Spanish RIviera), I cannot imagine it subcombing to the jelly fish.

The Spanish national election vote after the 2004 Madrid train bombing leads me to think that the beaches in Spain have been invaded by jellyfish for years.

“You can’t just throw them in a garbage can,” Gili said.

Why not? Is it fear of the revenge of Peta?

Perhaps a chef can experiment with it. Someone ask the Japanese. I’ll bet they have a recipe or two. Who knows, maybe jellyfish will become a Spanish delicacy.

“Joaquin Such, director of a marina in the resort town of Altea in the Valencia region, said he has been contacted to try to round up a posse of jelly fish surveillance skippers and will hold his first meeting with them on Saturday.”

Jellyfish sureveillance? What will they think of next? How about putting up some kind of barrier? Fine mesh maybe. I’d love to attend the first meeting of the PJFSS. They need an official logo tell the amatuers from the pros. Contest, anyone? Of course, if this was happening in the US, the Dems would be advocating for the jellyfish.

Drop Martha Stewart and Paris Hilton onto a jellyfish-covered beach, and see which one can turn the bigger profit. Martha, with her jellyfish recipes, beauty creams, and bath salts, or Paris, with her jellyfishsex video?

Centuries ago, Spanish Man o’ Wars would line the coast — now it’s the Portuguese variety...

And that's bad news for Spain, the world's top tourist destination after France.

Huh?? Since when is this true?? I thought there were a lot of other places that attracted more tourists. A few years back, I remember hearing that Orlando, Florida is the top tourist destination in the world.

On Costa del Sol, you always rented a paddle boat anyway. Water quality was so bad, no one in their right mind, including jellyfish, swam at the beach.

I have an interesting jellyfish personal story. I don’t feel like telling it.
