In just 4 days, our crew aboard the #SeaEagle has pulled up 4,650 illegal #octopus traps, freeing dozens of octopuses from certain death.
Octopus fishing with traps is banned in Greek waters from July to September—yet traps litter the sea floor, threatening marine life. That’s why we’re here, working tirelessly to clear the #Mediterranean of deadly gear and give octopuses a fighting chance.
This year, on an invitation of the Region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, and the fisheries Department of Regional unit of Xanthi, we launched our most ambitious campaign yet: Break the record. Remove every illegal trap. Save the octopus.
Last year alone, we removed over 6,500 illegal octopus traps, saving countless lives. This year, with the support of the Hellenic Association of Ichthyologists, and in cooperation with the Greek Coastguard, we aim to crush those numbers.
"Our octopus campaigns are some of the most rewarding direct action campaigns I have ever seen." - Captain Alex Cornelissen.
Follow us for updates as we fight to save octopuses, and read the full commentary on our website.

@mojo@aus.socialOctopuses don’t just squeeze through holes—they see through illusions.
In a new study, these brainy blobs were fooled by a rubber optical illusion, just like humans are. That’s not dinner. That’s sentience.
Still fancy that calamari?

Like humans, octopuses can fall for the rubber hand…

@jordiCasas@mastodont.catLa sinyora Perplexity em recomana quedar-me a #BonPreuEnergia, i estic content del seu servei.
Per ara ens hi quedem pel tema de la compensació a llarg termini.
Tot i així, crec que #Octopus surt millor veient-ne les tarifes actuals.

@jordiCasas@mastodont.catExperiència amb #octopus a la sala? :)
Oh #octopus you cheeky scamps - you are the reason my daytime car charge automation kept being gazumped and pulling extra from the grid.
This is more of a curiosity, and to see what the bias is here on #Mastodon, so here is a band of characters that might be a potential travel buddy in a month or so. As a poll on this default instance only allows for 4 options, and there are 6 to choose from, respond to this toot with you're choice of travel companion. #Boost this to get the largest audience it can find.

The best #EV #charging app I've found is #Electroverse, run by #Octopus. It provides an optional card that works with lots of chargers in the UK and abroad. But it doesn't seem complete: there are chargers that I believe exist, which Electroverse doesn't know about.
If you know of a better app, I'd be glad to hear about it!
Down by the sea today in #Liguria #Italy. Had #octopus tentacle on a creamed potato for lunch in a restaurant with a sea view. It was tasty Weather is lovely here #foodphoto
@thoralf@soc.umrath.netNoch gut 2 Wochen, dann warte ich bereits ein Jahr darauf, dass #Octopus mein #Smartmeter in Betrieb nimmt.
Immerhin habe ich zur Entschädigung zur Überbrückung einen recht guten Tarif bekommen.
Trotzdem ist das ziemlich nervig.
Nobody seems to know about my #religion. And I've tried. But the consequences are for them, those poor souls. And I won't blame myself. They will never never never speak with an #octopus. #Tarvu

NASCongratulations on the new heat pump! A colleague of mine had #Octopus install one for her earlier this year, and she's delighted with it. We went with #GoodEnergy because Octopus wasn't able to help us, but I'm convinced Octopus would've been better value if our house had been suitable.
We're not yet ready to buy a battery — I want to go through a winter with the new heat pumps so that I know how much capacity to buy — but I've heard good things about #Victron. You might give them a look. They seem to be a bit more expensive than canned systems like #Powerwall, but a lot more flexible.
