Sea environmental changes, Stinging marine organism, Jellyfish dermatitis, Pelagia noctiluca, CnidariansAbstract
Climate change and eutrophication have contributed to an increased prevalence
of marine stinging organisms and jellyfish in Italian coastal waters.

Adriatic Seas, and outlines the most effective strategies for symptom management
and prevention of potential worsening.
