With the jellyfish dispersion mode, users (after registration) can track the forecasted pathway, for the next four days, of a jellyfish bloom they observe in the waters around the Maltese islands. The aim of the model is to implement a decision-support system for coastal managers by providing an early warning system of the occurrence of high jellyfish densities within particular stretches.
