Summary:
Around 10 Lion\'s Mane and 20 Barrel Jellyfish will be studied with particular interest in jellyfish as a food supply for leatherback turtles.
Experts from Swansea, Belfast and Cork will also examine how long they live.
Meanwhile, beachcombers who find any of the jellyfish washed up dead could claim a reward.
The research project is paying £25 for handing in the bright orange-topped tags, which are expected to begin washing up along the coast of Wales or the east coast of Ireland sometime over the next year.
