The Gulf of Mexico is the ninth-largest body of water in the world and a giant laboratory to explore the greatest questions facing our oceans today. The Harte Research Institute at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, founded in 2000, works across the Gulf-bringing together three countries and multiple disciplines to create science-based solutions that have a lasting impact. Because we believe what’s good for the entire Gulf is good for us all.

Beachcombing - Illegal Fishing Panga
I am pretty content with my decision to continue living hours from any oceans.
Im pretty sure you dont even have to touch them. Simply being near them is enough to get stung. Im no expert tho. Just watch discovery chamnel alot.
Somebody's gonna learn the "don't touch a random broken bucket piece on a beach cause it can be venomous" lesson
Imagine you're thrown in the outer space to slowly die, and there's this enormous alien demigod around doing a meticulous educational video on your species
the ocean is a scary place man…
omg. im so intersted and curios but im flintching evry 2 seconds. sorry man. too creepy to watch
5:59 says he got some stings on his fingers then puts his hand to his lips. I was taken aback lol
This is really cool
Thanks for watching!
We kill those Manowar when we were little kids by popping the bubble with a stick or a rock
Gross creature but handsome man
Gross. Do jellyfish shoot little spikey things into your skin?
Stepping on one intentionally seems so stupidly cruel
Nah, thats just a bluebottle. PMW are huge.
мужчина"о"война да?
Man fills plastic bucket with alien pasta, real
Why are you touching these things without gloves?
Somehow i knew you were going to try one. 😂
What did you do with it after the video? I'd imagine it be kinda hard to walk out and put it back in the surf. But dropping it off a wharf maybe? Just curious.
im pretty sure ive seen some beached in nz or it was something similar i once threw a rock hard enough at one and it popped as expected.
I think was luck when i touched one of these 😂 didnt even know what it was at the time
This Manowar? See the white light The light within Be your own disciple Fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting Our kingdom has come Rays of power shining Rays of magic fall On the golden voice that speaks within us all For all of us waiting Your kingdom will come Kingdom Come
This channel is a go-to for information. It's the best!
friend of mine coped on of these to the face, it wasn't fun
My favorite Chanel on UA-cam . I literally feel like I’m there on the beach. Much love and respect Jace. Thank you for your time and sharing your vast knowledge of the ocean.
I know of these creatures as the Bag Bastards. Once as a kid I was with some friends moving out past the waves on our boards, when I saw a plastic bag move near us. I thought in my head of how irresponsible people can be dumping their trash then dipped my hand under the water and went to sweep it aside. and got to feel the white-hot fury of a thousand Suns. These things suck, they're pretty to look at but that's it.
"It stings like a man'o'war which as you know hurts really bad" *He says poking it with his bare finger*
I got stung by one while wade fishing 20 years ago. It wasn't fun and I drove home with one hand.
Do not pour vinegar on a bluebottle sting, the acidity will cause the nematocysts to discharge more venom into the wound. Hot water however will ease the pain and wash away the stinging cells.
Stepped on one this past February. Was a baby but still gave me a rash on and off for weeks
I am terrified of these things. I hope to never have a close encounter with one. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Take care
That’s some good eating there. Fry them up! Yum!
How do the individual parts find each other? What's the reproductive cycle?
actually very informative - much better than I expected - subscribed - how do you put something like that back in the sea !
You have a great job.
pop it
I hope he’s not torturing this thing by having it in the want and moving it around
its an eyeball
How do you feel about this being a 2/2 for 2 and a U that can bounce another creature back to hand?
Holy shit I thought I was a pretty smart guy but until now, if I saw one of these on the beach, I would totally believe it’s an alien.
“The last time I did this, I did everything I’m doing right now, and got terribly stung. See, how I’m an expert?”
Grew up surfing in NE Florida, experienced many stings from these guys. Had to unwrap from my leg a few times while it’s stinging your hands. Had a “jelly fish season” where there’s dozens of them floating around, few times we wore wetsuits in warm water just to have an extra barrier. Good times!
wow can we get an episode on the rainbow golf ball PLEASE
hi Jace- do you hever just drive your truck along the edge and just floor it and squish as many jellys as you can just to get revenge for all the STINGING??? i know i would. thanks
Thanks, I was scared to death of them til now. Not so much anymore
Another amazing informative video, can't wait for the next one!
"And these things sting real bad." Promptly picks it up.
always a good day when a new beachcombing episode comes out!
I once went to the beach and my family all crowded around a small area. I see this thing, and 4-year-old me is like "BLUE FISHIE ON BLUE FISHIE LINE" and grab it by "the fishing line". One word still sticks in my mind: "Ow"
Ah, such a beautiful little eldritch horror.
Just another reason why I stopped surfing. Got out alive!
