Jellyfish heavy bloom in El Salvador.

Description and Comments

There are heavy blooms os jellyfish in EL Salvador coastal waters. I received the first reports on Saturday, February 25th, 2012 from shrimp trawlers and The Salvadorian Fisheries Chamber. Today they report that a 30 min. trawls get too many jellyfish and they have to clean the nets to get rid of them.

This bloom is happening from El Tamarindo (close to El Jaguey) to Lempa River mouth.
