Jelly Ball Mural, Darien

Cannonball Jellyfish, or jelly balls, which have traditionally been unwanted in shrimpers’ nets, are now an important moneymaker for Georgia fishermen, third only to shrimp and crab as the state’s leading catch. The jelly balls are dried and shipped to Chinese and Japanese markets. In season, you can even take a tour of the Golden Island International processing facility.

As of 2020, the structure containing this mural is gone.

    So interesting. I live in Brunswick and had no idea. When you get back up around NE ga, ask me for sites to photo.. You’ve missed a few.
