Wild Moon Jellies
Yes, visitors to the Boston waterfront need only look down into the Harbor to see marine wildlife. When we recently visted, not only did we see many moon jellies, but also a three foot long fish of some kind (dunno what kind). I don't have a picture of the fish (which made the mallards up on the Harbor surface quite nervous) but I do have these shots of our urban jellies.


The harbor has been cleaned up quite a bit in recent years (in the late 80's, no less an authority on filth than John Lydon [formerly Johnny Rotten] called it "an open sewer"), but not as much as those pictures seem to indicate. I cleaned up the harbor in photoshop so that you could see the animal better. Here's the un-retouched version of the first picture:

invertebrates, why not?
