Jellyfish Encounter
Thursday April 24, 2008 from 10:00am - 5:00am
The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk Incorporated
10 N Water St
Norwalk, Connecticut 06854 Get Directions
Few marine creatures are as mysterious and intimidating as jellyfish. 'Jellyfish Encounter' offers close, safe studies of one of the most mesmerizing and unusual creatures in the ocean. Jellies (so called because they're not really fish) are 95 percent water and have no brain, heart, blood, lungs or gills, yet they've existed on Earth for 650 million years. Most species featured in the 'Jellyfish Encounter' are commonly spotted each summer in Long Island Sound, including: moon jellyfish, a relatively harmless jelly; lion's mane jellyfish, a vicious stinger that can grow to be the biggest of all jellies; and sea nettles, so named because encountering one feels like brushing into a thicket of nettles.
