ALOR SETAR, Nov 22 — The Langkawi Development Authority (Lada) is collaborating with the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies (Cemacs), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Penang, to study jellyfish behaviour and population patterns in Langkawi waters.

Lada, in a statement, said the collaboration aims to enhance understanding and preparedness regarding jellyfish activity following an incident that claimed the life of a two-year-old Russian child, who tragically passed away last Nov 19 due to complications from a jellyfish sting at Pantai Cenang, Langkawi.
