How did rising water temperatures and increased plankton contribute to the jellyfish bloom near the Gravelines power plant?

The incident highlights the increasing impact of climate change on infrastructure. Warmer water temperatures in the North Sea are causing a boom in jellyfish populations, increasing their interactions with coastal power plants. This incident follows similar events at other nuclear facilities, demonstrating a growing vulnerability.
