A propósito del trabajo realizado, llegué a "Puerto Escondido", un pueblo pescador y agrícola, ubicado en la carretera vieja entre Santa Fe y Mochima, en la carretera Cumaná - Puerto La Cruz.
Cuando vas en el camino puedes observar comunidades rurales, vendedores de todo tipo de dulces típicos y frutas en la vía.
Recuerdo que realizamos un recorrido en bote por una parte del parque nacional Mochima para observar el grado de la invasión, de esta medusa invasoras y depredarora de peces, crustáceos y moluscos que en ese momento estaba afectado la pesca local. Para mi sorpresa resultó que en su mayoría la meduza bala era comestible, en el continente Asiático, donde la ensalada de medusa es la más común.
Ha pasado un año de este trabajo, y el lugar se quedó grabado en mi mente, es realmente uno de esos espacios hermosos del estado Sucre qué he tenido la dicha de visitar.
Agradezco al universo por llevarme a estos espacios y a ustedes por leerme.

Greetings to everyone involved in this ecosystem. Looking at a photo, I remembered that in May 2024, I conducted research in Mochima National Park in Sucre State, regarding the invasion of the "Cannonball" jellyfish, whose scientific name is Stomolophus meleagris. Today, I want to show you a series of photographs I captured at that time. The event was proposed by the Sucre State Tourism Corporation, where tourism service providers work, especially the president of the Villa Majagual Inn. Regarding the work I did, I arrived at "Puerto Escondido," a fishing and farming village located on the old highway between Santa Fe and Mochima, on the Cumaná-Puerto La Cruz highway.
As you travel along the road, you can see rural communities, vendors selling all kinds of traditional sweets and fruits along the way. During the tour, a beach resort caught my attention because everything was very clean, even though at the time it seemed abandoned due to the lack of commercial activity. Upon entering, you find a beautiful bay, with an incredible grape market, a phenomenal view. I remember we took a boat tour through part of Mochima National Park to observe the extent of the invasion by this invasive jellyfish, a predator of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks, which at the time was affecting local fishing. To my surprise, it turned out that the majority of the bullet jellyfish were edible, in Asia, where jellyfish salad is the most common. A year has passed since this work, and the place has remained etched in my mind. It is truly one of those beautiful spaces in Sucre state that I have had the good fortune to visit.I thank the universe for bringing me to these spaces and you for reading me.
