Lake Merritt Walk 5/29/12
Description and Comments
I have been walking a bit on lake Merritt at least a few times a week for at least a month or so. This is the first time I have seen jellies! I counted ten of them, they were all at least six inches across. They were in the shallow water near algae blooms or in them, most had the oral surface facing up.

Thanks a lot. Those are moon jellies (Aurelia). Interesting to see them that far up in the bay.
