News Article 3: Pyrosomes
According to the fishermen along the west coast, there have been an influx of zooids known as pyrosomes. They are small, gelatinous, pickle-shaped organisms. Until 2012, they had rarely been seen anywhere along the west coast. Now they have spread all the way to the Gulf of Alaska. The fishermen are frustrated by this migration because the pyrosomes are clogging up their fishing gear and making it much harder for them to make money.
