About the event

What do bar­rel, moon and com­pass all have in com­mon? They are all types of jelly­fish found in UK waters, and if you spot any on your next trip to the beach, sci­ent­ists want to hear about it.

As part of its nation­wide project Jel­ly­watch, the Mar­ine Con­ser­va­tion Soci­ety (MCS) is ask­ing people in the UK and Ire­land to report any jelly­fish they see, either in the water or washed ashore. We are holding this information session on how to identify common British jellyfish species and how to report sightings to MCS. Come along for a fun and informative hour to find out more.
