How to use jellyfish in a sentence?

1. Wade Fleming:

   Maybe they should consider signs warning people about this at Coquina Beach, they warn people about jellyfish, and I've never heard of people dying from those.

2. Trey Lane:

   Hunter loves sea creatures and thought he had found a blue button jellyfish, after they picked it up in a beach toy he proclaimed to me that he had discovered a new species !

3. Nicole Xu:

   Jellyfish have existed for over 500 million years, and over that time, their body structure has remained largely unchanged, so it's interesting to figure out what makes them so special and how we can learn from them, because we use animals with natural swimming motions, the hope is that they won't disturb the environment in the same way that a submarine might, so we can expand the types of environments we can monitor.

4. John Hocevar:

   The structure of PPE will make it particularly hazardous for marine life, gloves, like plastic bags, can appear to be jellyfish or other types of foods for sea turtles, for example. The straps on masks can present entangling hazards.

5. Kathy Townsend:

   Plastic bags look very similar to a jellyfish in the water and jellyfish is a thing that all sea turtles love to eat.
