[Cnidaria] Jellyfish strike!

[A. Kimo Morris]

Hey all - just got word from a colleague who does all the NPDES 
monitoring at Diablo Canyon.  The jellies (which weren't mentioned in 
the article) were identified as Aurelia by Jim Kelly of PG&E.  It 
takes a lot to justify shutting down a nuclear power plant...  this 
must've been a REALLY dense swarm that congregated near the intake. 
For those that care, here's the location of the forebay that feeds 
the plant:  35.207oN, 120.855oW.
Cheers,
