Pelagia noctiluca blooms are a significant ecological event in the Mediterranean, with profound implications for marine ecosystems and coastal economies. This study aims to investigate interannual seasonal variability of bloom patterns along Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian Mediterranean coasts, focusing on influence environmental factors such as sea surface temperature, nutrient availability, oceanographic conditions intensity distribution. The analysis reveals fluctuations size across three regions, most substantial occurring from June August during warmer months. In 2014 2018, peak sizes up 775 jellyfish per unit area were recorded Morocco Algeria, while Tunisia also experienced notable blooms, particularly 2015 2017. However, 2020 2023, marked decline was observed all dropping, Morocco. Correlation variables showed weak moderate relationships between key factors. Sea temperature positive correlation (r = 0.13), suggesting that waters contribute increased intensity. Nitrate current direction exhibited correlations 0.12 r 0.27), indicating availability ocean circulation could enhance formation. carbon 0.08) phosphate 0.04) further suggest organic matter play minor role supporting growth. On other hand, negative oxygen −0.04), solar radiation wave height −0.05) these may slightly inhibit intensity, possibly by influencing dynamics dispersing populations. Notably, pH level −0.29) speed −0.23) stronger correlations, more pronounced inhibitory effect. conclusion, this research highlights complex multifactorial nature dynamics, where interact distribution coasts. While variability, anthropogenic likely role. Further is necessary better understand synergistic effects climate change, loading, biological interactions effective management strategies.
