Research Projects

Finding jellyfish in local lakes

We are working to collect freshwater jellyfish from lakes around Michigan. We also plan to collect data on where jellyfish blooms occur and why.

Keeping jellyfish in the lab

Freshwater jellyfish are difficult to keep alive for long in captivity. We hope to identify ways to keep these jellyfish in the lab to use for more experiment.

Educating the local community

We are working to educate the local community about the presence and impacts of freshwater jellyfish.
