Описание: Lately I have received a lot of questions about small gelatinous creatures that have been washing up on local beaches. They are salps. Salps are pelagic tunicates (sea squirts) that filter phytoplankton from the water. They form chains, but break apart easily, especially as they crash around in the surf. Salps are classified in the Phylum chordata, which means they are taxonomically closer to humans than they are to jellyfish! Why are we seeing so many lately? They drift aimlessly on the currents and when conditions are right, typically when we have southeast winds, they get swept inshore. They are completely harmless so there is no need to panic.
