Factors such as drought, heat and over-fishing all contribute to a rising jellyfish count. Warmer than usual coastal waters encourage the creatures to venture closer to shore, in search of lower salt concentrations and nutrients in urban waste water and agricultural run-off. At the same time the Mediterranean's population of larger fish and turtles -- which feed on jellyfish -- has declined.

I suspect it's to do with sea temperatures and the amount of food available for them.
