Springtime is a good time to spot jellyfish! 春天是尋找水母的好時機!

As spring comes, it is possible to spot jellyfish as they bloom in Hong Kong waters or get swept in from elsewhere. It is commonly thought that jellyfish occur mostly in the summer, however observations from citizen scientists like you have shown that large numbers of jellyfish occur in Hong Kong waters during the spring time. When summer comes, the monsoon switches direction and other species of jellyfish can be spotted in Hong Kong.

隨春天來臨,香港水域中的水母暴發,香港水域以外的水母亦可能會流入,我們很大機會能觀察到水母出現。水母通常被認為多在夏天出現,但從像大家一樣的公民科學家觀察所得,在香港水域中,大多數水母出現在春季。當夏季來臨,季候風風向改變,香港水域中會出現其他品種的水母。

Since the jellyfish are appearing in Hong Kong now, keep looking for them and let the Hong Kong Jellyfish Project know what you see! You can share your sightings through the website (www.hkjellyfish.com), iNaturalist project (hong-kong-jellyfish-project), or social media.
