[APPENDIX]

Appendix Table 1. Reported events of jellyfish ingress interfering with power plant operations around the world. Each emergency shutdown event is not only costly but, in the case of nuclear plants, is potentially dangerous.

Appendix Table 2. Reports of jellyfish ingress events interfering with desalination plant operations around the world. This is likely to be a gross underestimation of the actual scale of the problem.

Appendix Table 3. Published reports of jellyfish blooms interfering with trawling operations around the world. No doubt there are many hundreds or thousands more interference problems that have not been reported.
