At Merman Conservation Expeditions Ltd., we're proud to present the Jellyfish Drift Predictor - a free AI-powered tool designed to help you estimate the drift patterns of the mauve stinger jellyfish (Pelagia noctiluca) based on your own observations.

This tool is available to everyone and aims to support public awareness, personal planning, and citizen science around jellyfish activity in the Aegean Sea.

How Does It Work?

Unlike a live data feed, the Jellyfish Drift Predictor does not collect or store community sightings automatically. Instead, you manually enter the following:

• The latitude and longitude where you saw jellyfish
• The estimated number of individuals (population)

Once you input this data, the system uses environmental behavior models and basic wind-driven drift estimations to provide a visual forecast of where the jellyfish may move in the coming days.

This makes the tool fully on-demand, private, and tailored to each sighting entered.

Why Pelagia noctiluca?

Pelagia noctiluca is the most commonly encountered jellyfish in Greek waters during the summer. While native to the Mediterranean, it can form large blooms that impact tourism and recreation, especially during August and September.
Understanding where these jellyfish may move next helps reduce surprise encounters and increases safety and awareness.

Important Disclaimer​

⚠️ Jellyfish Drift Predictor is for personal use and awareness only.
⚠️ Predictions are not always accurate, especially when winds or weather shift suddenly.
⚠️This tool does not track jellyfish in real time - it depends on your manual input to generate each forecast.

Always check with local authorities and beach notices when planning to enter the sea.
