However the spread southwards may not be as much of
a risk as originally thought. A Griffith University led study has
made the surprising discovery that ocean acidification may
provide some protection for South East Queenslanders from
the Irukandji. Researchers from Griffith University’s Australian
Rivers Institute have done climate change simulation experiments
to investigate whether the dangerous tropical jellyfish is likely to
establish breeding populations in the South East. The results found
that while higher sea temperatures could allow for adult Irukandji to

“Increasing ocean temperatures and strengthening boundary currents have
caused the poleward migration of many marine species,” said Shannon.
