Jellyfish Suck

You heard about them at the NYC Tri.  If you have not been to the ocean of late, you would not believe the numbers of jellys washed up on the beach!

Each year, we are finding the jellyfish problem entering our waters earlier and more abundant.  The JSTC is committed to bringing awareness of this environmental complexity that lessens our ability to train and enjoy swimming in the ocean and NJ bays and rivers.
