Velella velella--it sounds so nice you have to say it twice! Also known as by-the-wind sailors, these invertebrates can’t move on their own, and rely on wind power. Velella sightings are common through the spring and summer, when they wash up en masse due to heavy winds or strong currents. Have you seen velella velella? And, more importantly, have you smelled them? #velellavelella #hydrozoans #oregoncoast #oregoncoastaquarium | Oregon Coast Aquarium

Called Velella velella, this is one of the Earth’s only waterproof jellies. Velella float on the oceans surface, and here you are seeing it pulse from below the water. They can grow as large as a human hand and sail all over the world. But they rarely make wash close to shore.

One velella velella is a colony of tiny soon-to-be jellyfish! These party boats float on the ocean surface, and are fully dependent on the wind to move them around. Their sail is oriented on an angle across their oval-shaped bodies, which determines how they move in relation to the wind direction.They eventually sail up to coastlines and are washed up on the beaches. Mass-stranding events usually take place in the spring, which is a spectacular event to witness! They eventually lose their blue p

Lincoln City beaches are currently filled with Velella velella! These fascinating little creatures are like little sailboats - their “sails” catch the breeze and propel them great distances across the ocean. 🌬️ But like a car without a steering wheel, the Velella velella have no control over the direction in which they sail. ⛵️This means that sometimes the wind blows thousands of them onto the shore for us to enjoy! | Explore Lincoln City

Entering alien worlds! 👽 These psychedelic creatures are called velella velellas, a colonial hydrozoan that group up in the thousands! They’re planktonic, meaning they’re carried by wind and waves.

The Velella Velellas (AKA By-the-wind Sailors) are back! Free-floating Hydrozoans that float on the surface of the ocean. They use a stiff, triangular sail to catch the wind and propel themselves across the water. They’re often seen washed up on the beach.

Thousands of tiny blue sailors washed up on the beach today. They’re called Velella velella, or “by-the-wind sailors.” These fascinating ocean drifters use a tiny sail to move with the wind across the Pacific. When storms push them ashore, beaches can turn blue overnight. A beautiful reminder of how connected the ocean is. 🌊💙 Where gratitude meets the tide 🌊💜#ByTheBeachCoastie #MyCoastalLivingJourney #BeachfrontTinyHomeLiving #coastalsanctuary #Velella
