This is part of the Repository for capacity development activities that have been developed within the Iliad project. This product contains all the material regarding the capacity development activities entitled "Jellyfish Swarm Forecast with Citizen Science - Meduzot Baam" developed by the University of Haifa.

In this activity you will find a provision of a clear definition of Jellyfish Citizen Science, understanding the nature of Citizen Science as a collaboration between individuals/local communities and the scientific community.

You will learn about Meduzot Baam, a Waze for jellyfish. Similar to the application that has become default for Israeli drivers, this platform also relies on user reports to help everyone select which route/bathing beach to visit so as to avoid the disappointment associated with traveling to a beach only to discover that the sea is filled with jellyfish. Found out more on the project's website https://www.meduzot.co.il/. In the webapp, ample information on how not to get sting and a protocol of what to do if you get stung is also provided.
