Ghostly swarms of jellyfish along Israel's coast have emptied beaches and raised warnings about the dangers of ecological imbalance due to climate change.

Beyond stinging swimmers and costing the country some $10 million a year in lost tourism, the translucent invertebrates have also been clogging desalination plants and industrial fishing nets as their seasonal numbers grow, authorities say.

"The water gets hotter and hotter and we can see more and more jellyfish," Guy Lavian, a marine ranger with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority said.

"They cause real damage here. You can definitely say that global warming contributes to these massive swarms."
