We release our octopuses from Yaquina Bay’s South Jetty, which is just down the road from HMSC.\u00a0 We try to release at high tide, when the octopus has more places to hide and a nice current if he or she wants to swim farther out to sea.<\/p>\n

You can see our new external Octocam housing from the overhead “Outside Looking In” cam on the Octocam<\/a> page.\u00a0 Look at the right side of the tank.\u00a0 The new camera is the small grey object sitting on the base of the tank.\u00a0 Tony built the housing to protect the camera from bumps and to block out the glare, but it also makes a nice aesthetic fit.<\/p>\n
