Jellyfish is a passive predator; it does not chase its prey. In order to catch its prey it needs to paralyze it. In a fraction of a second the sting can fire a paralyzing toxic dart to the victim. Once the prey is paralyzed it is either swallowed by the jellyfish (if it's small enough) or it stays glued to the tentacles, where it is slowly digested. To learn more about the stinging mechanism go to Jellyfish Stings: Hi-tech Micro injections. See similar questions...

The Channel is too cold and dirty for sharks. On the other hand, the channel is replete with jellyfish. The stings are not fatal but are very painful. Usually this happens as I am taking a stroke and what feels like three or four electrified barbed wires are being dragged across my skin- jellyfish tentacles. The skin usually burns for five minutes and then goes numb. Impressive scars then surface the next day. No channel swimmer is complete without his or her own collection! See similar questions...

The beaches on North Topsail have been "re-nourished" several times in recent years. The fact that nourishment is being proposed (yet again) is testament to the fact that this methodology produces no lasting solution to erosion. Because so much money has been wasted on past nourishment projects, the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) prohibits North Topsail from receiving federal funds for dredging and nourishment.
