If you can’t beat ’em, eat ’em!
That is exactly what Japan is doing with their sudden jellyfish infestation. From the Times Online:
THEY are called echizen kurage and they sound like monsters from the trashier reaches of Japanese science fiction.
They are 6ft wide and weigh 450lb (200kg), with countless poisonous tentacles, they have drifted across the void to terrorise the people of Japan. Vast armadas of the slimy horrors have cut off the country’s food supply. As soon as one is killed more appear to take its place.
Finally, the quarrelsome governments of the region are banding together to unite against the enemy.
…In the meantime locals are making the best of it — rather than just complaining about jellyfish they are eating them.
