Re: Invasion of Jellyfish
Scripps Institute of Oceanography,
We are 10th grade students at the School of Science, Connections, and
Technology at Kearny High School. We are a U.S. News & World Report Silver
Medalist school located in Kearny Mesa. We are participating in an award-winning
project called My Green Life. My Green Life is an interdisciplinary project in
which we explore the connections between environmental changes and personal
choices.
We are writing to request further information on the impact of Jellyfish into our
environment. As part of our presentation, we need to know more about why they
are growing so fast and why they are a problem to the environment.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Vallejo, Angelica, Angelina Baroy
