This video picture was filmed at Tenjinzaki during a spring low tide. This individual was left in shallow waters near the shore. It was almost driven ashore but managed to swim back offshore. The jellyfish was pushed back toward the shore in every surge. In shallow waters subject to waves and surges, a jellyfish has difficulty in swimming. (translated by Asoh)
