Just released short film: Discover Wonder: The Octopus Garden, is a remarkable, mind-expanding adventure that journeys with a team of scientists from the decks of high-tech exploration vessels to the dark and uncharted depths of Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Their mission: to collect crucial data from one of the rarest and deepest fertile octopus brooding colonies on the planet. Encounters with otherworldly marine life that inhabit the most extreme and fragile environments imaginable are a reminder of how much of the ocean remains unexplored and a cue for us to ensure the wonders of the deep are protected.
