4572) "Jellyfish", Bailiwick of Guernsey, A British Crown Dependency (BCD): A set of Six Postage Stamps issued by Guernsey Post featuring Jellyfish varietes found in the waters around Guernsey: Date/Year of Stamp set issue: 07.07.2026:

About Jellyfish:

With its dramatic coastline and nutrient-rich waters, the Bailiwick of Guernsey provides an ideal environment for a wide variety of marine life.

In recent years, jellyfish have become increasingly frequent visitors to these waters, drifting on currents and tides that shape the islands’ coastal ecosystems. Their seasonal appearances offer a fascinating glimpse into the ever-changing balance of marine life surrounding the Bailiwick.

Jellyfish are among the oldest living creatures in the world’s oceans, having existed for more than 500 million years. Despite their delicate, almost transparent forms, they are highly adapted predators. Using specialised stinging cells, they capture plankton and small fish, playing an important role within the marine food chain. Their presence can also reflect changes in ocean conditions, including rising sea temperatures and shifting ecological patterns.

This Stamp collection highlights the beauty and diversity of jellyfish found in Bailiwick waters.

Featuring striking underwater photography by Sark-based photographer Sue Daly, each stamp captures the distinctive colours, shapes and characteristics of these remarkable marine species, offering a closer look at creatures often glimpsed only briefly from the shoreline.

Jellyfish form an important part of the marine ecosystem, providing food for other species and helping to maintain ecological balance. However, their increasing presence may also reflect broader environmental changes affecting the world’s oceans. Monitoring these species offers valuable insight into the health of marine habitats around the Bailiwick.

The waters surrounding the Bailiwick of Guernsey continue to support a rich and diverse marine environment.

By observing and understanding the species that inhabit them, it is possible to gain a deeper appreciation of the natural world and the importance of protecting it.

Jellyfish are an important part of the marine ecosystem, and this issue will inspire collectors and nature enthusiasts alike to take a closer interest in the extraordinary marine life in the islands.

The Stamps:

The Postage Stamps:

75p: Bluefire Jellyfish (Cyanea Lamarcki):

One of the most commonly encountered species in local waters, the Bluefire Jellyfish (75p stamp) is recognised by its blue or violet bell and trailing tentacles.

97p: Barrel Jellyfish (Rhizostoma Pulmo)

Sometimes known as the “dustbin-lid jellyfish”, the Barrel Jellyfish (97p stamp) features the largest species regularly found in the region: it can grow to around 89 centimetres in diameter.

£1.45: White Cross (Staurostoma Mertens):

The White Cross (£1.45 stamp) is a delicate hydrozoan species named for the subtle cross-shaped pattern visible through its transparent bell.

£1.54: Mauve Stinger (Pelagia Noctiluc):

The Mauve Stinger, shown on the £1.54 stamp, is noted for its vivid colouring, bioluminescence and more powerful sting.

£1.90: Moon Jellyfish (Aurelia Aurita):

The Moon Jellyfish (£1.90 stamp) is easily identified by the four horseshoe-shaped rings visible through its translucent bell

£1.95: Compass Jellyfish (Chrysaora Hysoscella):

Compass Jellyfish (£1.95 stamp) is recognised by the dark V-shaped markings radiating across its bell.

The Presentation Pack (PP)

Presentation Pack:

A convenient and attractive method of displaying and storing Guernsey Post commemorative and definitive stamp issues is the presentation pack folder.

Housed in a proprietary stock card, to which is attached a cover incorporating details of subject matter and specifications, the pack fits our own special ring binder.

Bailiwick Jellyfish / Sheets of 10

Some of Guernsey's stamp issues are produced in sheets of ten. This enables collectors to obtain cost-effective sheets of each value with the name of the designer, printer and printer’s information and ‘traffic lights’.

What are Traffic Lights?

In philately, “traffic lights” refer to the colored dots (usually cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) printed in the sheet margins of stamps. These dots are not part of the stamp design but are used by printers for color registration and quality control. Collectors value blocks of stamps that include these marginal markings, often called “traffic light blocks” or “traffic light gutter pairs.”
