A brackish lake formerly connected to the ocean through a passage. The lake was home to an abundance of jellyfish that has been able to proliferate without predators. As of April 2023 very few jellyfish remain and it has supposedly been like this for a couple of years.
Jellyfish Lake is a marine lake located on Eil Malk island in Palau. Eil Malk is a part of the Rock Islands, a group of small, rocky, mostly uninhabited islands in Palau's Southern Lagoon, between Koror and Peleliu. There are about 70 other marine lakes located throughout the Rock Islands. Millions of golden jellyfish migrate horizontally across the lake daily.
