The Trust are particularly interested in research projects with the following output goals: 

• Prediction: predicting the occurrence of jellyfish in time and space;
• Detection: detecting and accurately identifying jellyfish and understanding their ecology;
• Barriers: cost-effective and feasible barriers between people and jellyfish;
• Diagnosis: rapid diagnosis of a sting, how recent and by what jellyfish;
