Impacto de las medusas en el litoral andaluz. Implicaciones para el turismo de Sol y Playa

Abstract: El turismo de Sol y Playa es una de las actividades económicas más importantes en Andalucía. Sin embargo, las playas turísticas pueden ser entornos peligrosos para los bañistas debido a la presencia de bancos de medusas y otros organismos gela­tinosos, como Physalia physalis.
