POV: Time-lapse camera at the Octopus Garden
Welcome to the Octopus Garden, at this nursery, warmth from deep-sea thermal springs accelerates the development of octopus egg.
The Octopus Garden is the largest known aggregation of octopus on the planet—using an innovative sensor suite designed by engineers in MBARI’s Seafloor Mapping Lab we counted more than 6,000 octopus in a portion of the site and expect there may be 20,000 or more at this nursery.
