Baby Jellyfish boom

So we all know that the Earth is getting warmer, sea temperatures are changing, climates are changing...blah blah. Obviously we know a few species are going to go extinct here and there cos they just can't deal with it, but did we ever think there would be an explosion of some?

Recently, jellyfish have been invading the Mediterranean Seas and causing lots of problems for sea lovers who love to frolick in the waters. This is apparently due to the higher than normal sea temperatures which promote jellyfish breeding success. The warmer water also promotes algae growth and these 2 occurrences alone can change the ecosystem of the marine world.

It's not a nice thought but in the end, i guess it's bound to happen.
