The Jellyfish App

  • ENCYCLOPEDIA

    Instant access to a wealth of useful information about jellyfish around the world. Hundreds of species are already included, from pretty ones to dangerous ones, and more are being added regularly.

  • SEARCH

    Find species by common name, scientific name, or image. A text search function helps even if you only know part of a name.

    Preloaded search options for color, size, and shape enable you to find species by feature, for example, all coin-sized species, or all purple species.

  • BLOOM BLOG

    Check out lively musings from the jellyfish world from inside the App.

  • JELLYFISH NEAR ME

    Instantly check what species are near you, while an interactive map allows you to tap anywhere or type a locality to see what jellyfish occur anywhere in the world.

  • SPECIES INFO

    Each entry contains common and scientific names, a photo, description, seasonality, locality, toxicity, sting treatment, and other notes.

  • FAQs

    Should you pee on a sting or does vinegar really work? Wondering when is the best time to swim, or what sort of protective clothing to use? Check out the Frequently Asked Questions for the answer to these and other queries.

  • CURRENT ALERTS

    With one tap from the Home Screen, instantly see which species have current alerts.

  • ASK Dr LISA

    Upload photos or questions that will go straight to Dr Lisa-ann Gershwin, an international jellyfish expert with 25 years’ experience, for a personal response.
