Research proves that marine environments are the fastest degrading environments on earth. Yet existing environmental institutions are not robust enough to protect our oceans from further degradation. The Jellyfish Invasion serves as a practical example for demonstrating the environmental status of our oceans. The increase of jellyfish is mainly caused by anthropogenic disturbance, and addresses the unsustainability with a continuing status quo of exploitation. EU is one of the main drivers of environmental awareness and environmental policy on the global arena of international conventions. EU commits to large investments in environmental sustainability and provides an extensive policy-network containing comprehensive measures. Although these formal environmental institutions, there exists informal institutions of implementation deficit in environmental matters. The global arena is often said to be characterized of the theory of the tragedy of the common, this theory seems also applicable within the EU.
