The Octopus Odyssey expedition is currently underway in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Costa Rica, with the objective of investigating underwater mountains that scientists believe harbor distinctive habitats and biodiversity.
The multidisciplinary science team aims to gain a deeper understanding of the hydrogeology, microbiology, ecology, and geochemistry that potentially contribute to the captivating behaviors observed among clusters of brooding octopus. Additionally, they seek to characterize the life-sustaining services offered by the ecosystems thriving on these seamounts. Join us on this thrilling adventure to uncover more fascinating insights!
