Of course we’re referring to the yearly Freshers Week water fight, where members of The European Law Students’ Association (ELSA) went head to head with Society of Architecture and Civil Engineering Students Malta (SACES) for a chaotic round of water fighting.

With bowsers turning back and forth, Malta’s future architects and lawyers met a few hours before the water fight for pre-drinks before they marched to Vjal Tessie to cool off before an intense scholastic year.

While being a common occurrence worldwide, this species of jellyfish is rarely seen in Maltese waters.

The Aurelia Sp. is reportedly innocuous, which means that it does not cause harm upon contact.

Recognised by its four, horseshoe-shaped gonads, the moon jellyfish sighting is part of the marine biologists ‘Spot the Jellyfish’ citizen science campaign. Anyone spotting these creatures is urged to photograph and report their findings whilst also maintaining the sanctity of the sea creatures’ homes.
