Person

Ferdinando Boero

A man with gray hair and glasses, wearing a dark sweater over a light blue collared shirt, stands against a plain background.

Italian marine biologist, long associated with the University of Salento and the Stazione Zoologica in Naples, who specialises in jellyfish ecology and taxonomy. With Stefano Piraino and Volker Schmid he co-authored the 1996 paper documenting Turritopsis reversing its life cycle. He has since become a public advocate for treating jellyfish blooms as indicators of ocean change rather than mere nuisances.
