A few facts about the Octopus

• Around 300 species are recognized
• Most species grow quickly, mature early, and are short-lived.
• In most species, the male uses a specially adapted arm to deliver a bundle of sperm directly into the female’s mantle cavity, after which he becomes senescent and dies, while the female deposits fertilized eggs in a den and cares for them until they hatch, after which she also dies.
• Strategies to defend themselves against predators include the expulsion of ink, the use of camouflage and threat displays, the ability to jet quickly through the water and hide, and even deceit.
• Octopuses have three hearts; a systemic heart that circulates blood around the body and two branchial hearts that pump it through each of the two gills.
• Octopus blood is blue.

To give you a brief idea of the diversity of our work, I would like to introduce you to a few of our environmental protection projects we have implemented,

• We conducted Fish and invertebrate count and surveys, identifying and documentation of fish diversity, monitoring water quality changes, dissection of deceased fish for plastic detection in tissues and digestive organs.

• I was able to achieve great success with our project of coral propagation (restoration and reconstruction of coral reefs). I have been an instructor for CP since 2014 and so over time 2000 new corals have been planted. For this I received an award from the organization “Ocean Quest” and “Sea Shepherd Dive”. Newly planted corals the size of a pinhead are monitored with underwater photography. Success rate of 93%.

• Numerous implementations of underwater clean-up dives and their organization. Every month we collect over 500 kg of garbage from the sea floor. The future vision is to specifically recycle the plastic waste and use it to produce anchor buoys. To document this, both photos and videos are used.

• Construction and setting of permanent anchor buoys so that boats no longer throw their own anchors into the reef and thereby destroy corals. *We train our volunteers to become scientific scuba divers, I teach marine biology, shark protection, coral propagation and underwater clean-up courses.

• Our latest Project is our shark protection project. Due to habitat loss and bad media, we systematically educate the population, counting as well as taking pictures and videos are needed for the identification and to create Databases, to protect biodiversity.

Thank you very much and with your purchase you are protecting a piece of our fragile oceans!
