Balance4Blue Podcast Presents:
Why YOU Should Care About Jellyfish!
Hosted by Taylor Smith, Zen4Blue Shark Educator and Reece Smith, Love Your Ocean Podcast Host
🪼 No brain. No heart. No bones. And somehow… they’ve been thriving for hundreds of millions of years! 🪼
In this episode of the Love Your Ocean Podcast, Taylor and Reece dive into the wonderfully weird world of jellyfish! From glowing jellies and massive tentacles to 24 eyes and a species that can practically hit the reset button on its own life cycle, these animals might be some of the closest things we have to real-life aliens.
But beyond all the weirdness, jellyfish play an important role in marine ecosystems—and understanding them can help us better understand what’s happening in our changing oceans.
And of course, expect plenty of sister banter along the way!
