    The article discusses how an increase in jellyfish populations along the coast of Barcelona, Spain is providing clues about the declining health of the oceans. Patrol boats monitor beaches daily, closing them whenever large numbers of jellyfish are spotted. Experts note that warming waters are benefiting jellyfish, whose populations have exploded recently while fish numbers have declined. The rise of jellyfish is problematic as their stings pose a risk to swimmers and they can clog pipes at power plants. The article maintains that jellyfish numbers serve as an indicator that the ocean ecosystem is changing in ways that require attention.
