Abstract:
In the briny deep of the Outer Banks and waterways such as streams was a diversity of tropic and cool water life. This diversity’s attribution was in part to the Labrador Current and Gulf Stream. Displaying the diversity were the ocean’s sand tiger sharks and nettle jellyfish, the river’s largemouth bass and waterdog.

Abstract:
There are more than two hundred species of jellyfish floating in the oceans, bays, gulfs, or sounds of the world. They are not fish at all but invertebrates that have no head, brain, heart, eyes, ears, or bones. They are well adapted to a drifting, predatory life. Zentner describes some of the ones common to North Carolina waters, including the moon jellyfish, sea nettle, mushroom jellyfish, and lion's mane. The lion's mane is the world's largest, measuring eight feet across with tentacles that reach one hundred feet.

Abstract:
In 2014 and 2015, ECU graduate student, Nina Sassano, studied the increase in jellyfish populations on the North Carolina coast. Her experiments revealed that an increase in the number of man-made structures in the water may cause jellyfish settlements to be more extreme, resulting in a higher density of jellyfish in coastal waters.
