First jellies of 2015

Description and Comments

Went for a SUP from Grey Rocks Island to Cates Park and spotted 1 Aurelia labiata (BD<5cm) and 2 Cyanea capillata (BD~10cm). These are the first medusae I've seen this season, although someone did tell me that they saw a "purple one" (likely C. capillata) in Deep Cove a little more than a week ago.
