Observations by citizen scientists help researchers find patterns in jellyfish strandings Velella velella, also called “by-the-wind sailor” jellies, washed ashore at Moolack Beach, Oregon. As their name suggests, by-the-wind sailor jellyfish know how to catch a breeze. Using a stiff, translucent sail propped an inch above the surface of the ocean, these teacup-sized organisms skim along the water, dangling a fringe of delicate purple tentacles just below the surface to capture zooplankton and larval fish as they travel. At the mercy of the wind, these jellies, sometimes numbering in the trillions, can wash ashore on beaches around the world, including up and down the U.S. West Coast, in what is called a stranding event. While these mass stranding events are hard to miss, very little is known about how or why they happen.
