Jellyfish Lake

No scuba here this is snorkel heaven. Verify the lake status before you go out it has been closed by the government now and then for enviro reasons. There are 60 lakes in the Rock Islands that are affected by oceanic tides. They range from 5 30m deep. Others are formed by limestone and are totally isolated from the ocean. The biodiversity is interesting due to the fact that there are no predators - like Jellyfish Lake at Ail-Malk. Its a bit of a climb to the top of the island and then to the lake in the middle of paradise. Big white Moon Jellyfish and the Mestiga jellyfish both not able to sting, live in this lake. The trail leads you to a clear lake where you can join nearly two million jellyfish! The Mestiga Jellyfish eats Algae and hosts them they photosynthesize by following the sun across the lake. They disappeared during El Nino when it got warmer. Their life-cycle starts off as a polyp and then heads into the Larva stage before adult. The larva simply de-pupate into Polyps if the temperature is not right.
