If you think a 2 m bell is impressive, wait till you hear about the lion mane jellyfish, which has tentacles that can get as long as 100 ft or 30.5 m. This species also has a bell size of 2.4 m.

Sadly, like most endangered or threatened species, the leatherback sea turtle faces many serious challenges. Their nesting sites are PRIME REAL ESTATE. They nest on some insanely cool beaches. They don't nest if there are lights. So development near nice tropical beaches seriously hurts their ability to keep a healthy population going. We want to actually see their population take off. We can thank places like Playa Grande on the Pacific coast of NW Costa Rica for protecting miles of pristine beaches from development - and from poachers. I was lucky enough to travel there thru my university about 20 yrs ago. We went all over Nicaragua and Costa Rica during a three-week long whirlwind tour of paradise. The beach was one of the last places we went. I was tired very tired by the time we reached there. We heard a lecture from this cool Biology prof from Purdue. He ran some study down there and coordinated a small army of volunteers and grad students. IIRC, they have something like 20 MILES of beach with zero development. I grew up in the country, but at the edge of the suburbs in Upstate NY outside a medium-sized upstate city. I've been camping out in the wilderness. i spent summers on the family farm in a more remote area of Upstate. I thought i'd seen the stars, the night sky, but i hadn't until I saw it on a moonless night without a drop of artificial light in any direction for miles. We had to wait for hours after the lecture. I was tired so i got annoyed like come on, let's just go to sleep. Thankfully I wasn't in charge and wiser heads prevailed. At like 2 AM, we were taken by a local guide far out onto the beach. They were incredibly strict about camera flashes and flashlights. He had the one light - a small penlight with a red filter that he only used a few times sparingly. We didn't need it soon anyway as our eyes adjusted. It was a long walk on the sand. Following directions we were silent. Finally we got to see something I'll never forget: a young female digging a hole and then laying eggs. My eyes aren't the best though they were better then than now and I saw this beautiful animal seemingly in a trance while she dug. She was only about a meter across - so a small one. we kept our distance and a few of us at a time got close enough to see each stage. Her process took a few hours so we all got a good, close view of the magic. I didn't know it was gonna be so amazing. We did a lot of amazing things that trip, but none matched that. Everywhere we went was amazing but that seemed extra special. It felt like something so few humans get to see. The preserve had armed guards IIRC to protect against poachers. One of the very rare murders in Costa Rica occurred a few years ago when a local volunteer - passionate about protecting the unique ecology of his country - was killed in relation to his duties protecting the beach. Everyone i met in Costa Rica - especially at the beach - had this amazing easy-going attitude. The truly lived this Pura Vida - the nation's unofficial motto (pure life). It sounded like this young man who was killed was just like that. The type of outgoing, smiling person that lights up a room, that everyone loves, that is so passionate about a just cause that you can't help but get wrapped up. Everyone leaves a place like that with a plan to return. Or to even move there. I did. I never went back. I know now that I probably never will. But at least I went once. I'd like my tourism money to support their work, but i have none. LB sea turtles lay hundreds of eggs. usualy about half are infertile - they lay these on top so if a predator (like cats - an invasive species there) come along and dig it up, they get full on the unfertilized eggs. The ones that hatch are pretty helpless until they get into the water. The scientists there collect the eggs, do their science stuff taking measurements, recording wehre and when, etc. collecting data, and then when tehy hatch, they bring them back to where they were laid and release. They get a slightly better chance of survival bc poachers and predators are less likely to get them. they release the babies at night and IIRC protect them until they get to the ocean. They say only one in 500 make it to adulthood. One mom must therefore lay hundreds of eggs to replace herself and the male. The professor from Purdue was optimistic about their rebound. He said that because they lay so many eggs, that there is huge potential for a boom in sea turtles at every hatching. I hope so because those oceans are rough - at least until they reach adulthood, when they're really too big and their hides too tough for predators to want to eat them. Aside from maybe the biggest of white sharks. he had previously studied them along the Gulf Coast, where the lights from oil rig platforms and refineries scare the sea turtles away. He had some scary data - like one year there were thousands of nesting, then a refinery went online. The next year there were hundreds of nests. Subsequent years got down to dozens. In a few short years tehy went from many thousands to dozens and the agency with authority - either the EPA or the texas department of environmental conservation - were powerless. IIRC, they tried and a federal judge in texas sided with the massive oil companies. It's big business. It's not a wise enemy to make in texas. And this was the early 2000's with a republican in the white house fresh from being governor in TX. A Texan with ties to big oil as POTUS, with a VP with even closer ties. Cheney was like Darth Vader to me then. And even HE divested from his companies while in the white house.

All my plastic waste ends up in landfill, rather than "recycled".

@@richardthomas5362that is sad

​@@jonasshiujunhimgsps6078 That's because of high labor and low salary in recycling jobs like plastic. It can get as low as 3 USD per 300 tons of plastic collected. Plus recycled plastic doesn't always come with the same high quality as it is with new plastic because it could be contaminated, and processing and repurifying it involves a lot more work than it already is as it is because different plastics have different types of polymer.

@@jonasshiujunhimgsps6078 Plus businesses love the third part of the Cycle but hate the first two, Reduce(not as much product sold) and Reuse(Less product sold over time), with Recycle being loved as it can be pawned off to a different person that they don't need to worry about.

We already have nets with special pockets in them that eject sea turtles if they get snagged. Also, Jellyfish are not limitless and they are even older than sea turtles yet never took over the world. Fish existed before the reptile and they lived just fine.

Damage to the marine ecosystem is especially detrimental to small fishing villages. Once the fish population starts to collapse, so does the local economy.

I've always loved TedEd animation but the info about small fishing vessels is wrong. The highest percentage will always be coming from large-scale fishing vessels. And much worse, they're even harder to regulate.

probably cuz they don't want you talking about jellyfish at your job interview /j

And when you eat fish you are contributing to the deaths of sea turtles as they get caught in these trawler nets that are left in the ocean. So go vegan and quit eating fish.

Yeap, that's would be a fact likely for a whole 21th century bcs jellyfish is capable to multiply yearly while turtles takes decades for each generation.

Never were, they aren't never their main predator. But a video about tiny bogues, sardines, damselfish, etc feast on jellyfish when they spawm can't reach a political view.

Global warming is not a main factor. The main factor is relatively recent (somewhere from 60es progressively with continuation of development till today and mass spread of technology around the world in 80es-90es) intensification of agriculture with mass use of nitro fertilizers. They are vital for better and faster growing of plants, though, washes out from soil into water and from rivers into ocean, where ramp up massively a growth of algae consumed by marine animal life. And jellyfish is just the most rapidly breeding species catching up with explosion of marine plant life growth. Though, global warming definitely helps making their breeding lands wider. And the problem here, that jellyfish is not preferred meal for most marine predators, turtles being likely the only one highly adapted to their consumption. An due to that, in future likely there will be a quite bad explosion in growth of relatively fast breeding predatory fish which can use a jellyfish as a meal, but just in case of hunger, preferring other species as their meal, likely driving them to extinction. And while jellyfish multiplies in numbers on yearly basis, turtles need decades for yach generation to grow. So indeed, before turtles catch up in numbers, what likely won't be a matter for whole 21th century, we would likely have seas and oceans overgrown with algae forests and stuffed with jellyfishes. Both are notorious for their poisonous kin. Limiting production of nitro-fertilizers is possible, though, replacements are less natural for environmental cycle, harder to produce, less effective and more harmful for nature while susceptible to lead to the same issue. So far the best angle to solving this issue is better food processing and larger variety of food products in consumption. Bcs, "only" 11% of population suffers from hunger 20 is underfed and around 60% suffers from malnutrition due to bad diet habits mostly inspired by food products cost disparity, while 30% of all food products rot before finding their consumer. So, refrigerating, dried up packaged food processing and reprocessing of expiring products (expiring ham to frozen pizzas or expiring milk into cheese e.g.) should be largerly promoted making it accessible to the most vulnerable economically people solving at least hunger issue. Imo, limiting access to fertilizers is wrong practice as hurts farming in general, as well as usually farmers in poor countries suffer from it mostly due to shut down of programs aimed to grow their efficiency due to application of modern technologies in their industry. Yeah, big food corporations are totally not pummeling their concurrence.... So much better promoting better food storage, processing and healthy varied diets (a call for vegetarians actually. They destroy planet ecology by promoting only vegetation as food source, so higher need of arable lands (so, deforestation either) and fertilizers, so higher amount of fertilizers into oceans, ruining their ecosystem stability more). We are producing more than enough food for everybody already. We fail to deliver.

Didn't you never wonder all the protection towards the sea turtles, but their numbers can't really increase. Maybe protecting a nest at al costs from natural predators, smooth the sand path for the babies, incubate them outside the beach pick up any baby who runs in the wrong direction, don't leave predators to feast on them all of that isn't really a biological protection of a species which evolve to spend high metabolism to produce thousands of eggs.

@@antonzhdanov9653 I think you have failed to notice that a great portion of the agricultural production goes to feed livestock. So no, vegetarians aren't making the world worse, lol.

That's also the guilt and self-contempt power holders want you to hold.
