World Octopus Day Oct 8, 2025

World Octopus Day

With eight arms and plenty of charm, the octopus takes the spotlight today. On World Octopus Day, as we reflect on their brilliance, we"re reminded that even these ocean geniuses can"t outsmart threats like climate change and pollution. Protecting their homes means safeguarding the future of our seas.
