These tiny ocean drifters, called Velella velella, have showed up in increasing numbers along the west coast of Vancouver Island. These “by-the-wind sailors” are small, jellyfish-like hydrozoan that are typically found in warmer ocean waters but have washed up on British Columbia’s beaches, possibly due to rising sea temperatures linked to climate change. Their presence highlights the importance of protecting and restoring our coastal ecosystems for a sustainable future.
