Buzzards Bay was unswimmable for about a month last year because of those. I hope this is not a trend that continues. Buzzards Bay was also mysteriously void of bluefish and baitfish during August last year too. Coincidence? Maybe.

nope not at all. lack of predatory fish has been all but directly related to massive populations of jellies. not entirely sure on the details. but pretty much has to do with plankton being to readily available and setting of the jelly's population explosions. (in theory, ofcourse)
