Millions of jellyfish-like creatures wash up on Pacific shore

(GRINDTV) — Small, jellyfish-like sea creatures known as by-the-wind sailors—or purple sails—are getting blown onto beaches from California to Washington by the millions.


The latest sighting came this week at Ocean Shores, Washington, where swarms of the purple-colored, oval-shaped creatures washed ashore and died in amazing numbers, as seen by the photos provided to GrindTV from Michael Watson.


“I’ve seen these guys in varies sizes of flotillas over the years, but this is the biggest incursion I’ve seen,” Watson told GrindTV. “It’s fun to see the hub-bub amongst the tourists.”


The Weather Channel went so far as to say billions have washed ashore along the West Coast, reporting that it is a result of strong winds and above-average sea surface temperatures.
