In this episode of Seen Blue Conservation Podcast – Beaches & Beyond, hosts Sabine Probst Saavedra and Carina Zettel explore the fascinating world of cnidarians — the group of marine animals that includes jellyfish, sea anemones, corals, and hydroids. Found throughout the Mediterranean Sea, these drifting, glowing, and sometimes venomous creatures are some of the ocean’s most beautiful and misunderstood species.

Discover how cnidarians survive using stinging cells, why some look like floating jellyfish while others resemble underwater flowers attached to rocks, and what important role they play in marine ecosystems and ocean biodiversity. Through storytelling, marine science, and easy-to-understand biology, this short episode reveals the hidden complexity of life beneath the waves.

Perfect for listeners interested in marine biology, jellyfish, Mediterranean wildlife, ocean ecosystems, aquatic animals, snorkeling, underwater nature, and ocean conservation.
