With more people now considering heading into the water - as the weather starts to warm up - the South West Jelly Fish Project is urging more people to get involved.

Researchers are looking at what's happening to the numbers and any knock-on impacts to help better understand them.

Dr Juliette Jackson is from the project and Kingsbridge-based charity Seadream Education which is behind it.

She said: "We've got a Facebook page for the project so people can get involved and then any data that we collect we map and report on through the peer review conferences we attend as part of our citizen's science project."
