Octopus videos

Tim Carpenter's talk on octopuses and cephalopods was the final Marine Science Lecture for the 2009/2010 year. This year also marks the seventh year of the lecture series.

Tim shared several videos featuring the interesting adaptive behaviors of octopuses.

Here are a few videos that may or may not be the exact same ones he showed:

Why our work matters

Healthy ecosystems support economic prosperity. The Salish Sea provides abundant natural capital that contributes substantially to the financial prosperity of the region. Unhealthy ecosystems cost money because we lose the opportunity to benefit from them. The Salish Sea's deteriorating health threatens our economic well being and quality of life. SeaDoc uses science to find solutions to the problems facing the fish, wildlife and people of the Salish Sea.
