Octopolis, a group of professionals passionate about issues related to the environment and the preservation of marine ecosystems, is seeking funds through crowdfunding to finance the environmental and scientific project aimed at the repopulation and study of octopuses in the Gulf of Talamone,Tuscany.

The ‘Octopolis’ project, In collaboration with the Department of Physical, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Siena, aims to create a citadel composed of 50 terracotta pots, promoting the ideal habitat for our octopus friends and monitoring their coexistence within this ecosystem.

We invite you to discover more about this wonderful project dedicated to one of the most fascinating and intelligent animals on our planet. and how you can make a difference.

The scientific Study

The study will be supervised directly by Prof. Letizia Marsili, The study will be supervised directly by Letizia Marsili, professor in the Department of Physical, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Siena and a member of the board of directors of the House of Pisces of the association “La Casa dei Pesci”,

The scientific activity envisages the monitoring and study of an artificial underwater habitat populated by octopuses in the georeferenced area called ‘Cannone’.

The 50 terracotta amphorae will be positioned in two parallel rows and spaced 10 meters apart to ensure proper spacing and limit the likelihood of loss, and will be tied together with a line.

There are four objectives we are pursuing in support of the project:

Create a safe haven for octopuses: we want to encourage the colonization of octopuses away from danger.

Support scientific study: The project will be accompanied by a scientific monitoring programme, in collaboration with the University of Siena. This will allow us to collect valuable data, contributing to the knowledge and protection of these creatures.

Raising public awareness: We are committed to raising awareness among the general public on the importance of octopus conservation and marine ecosystems.

Combat illegal fishing: the amphorae that will build the Octopus Polis will serve as an alternative shelter to the plastic cans used illegally in the study area.

Why it is Essential to Save Octopuses

Octopuses are extraordinary creatures that inspire wonder and curiosity. With three hearts, blue blood and a highly developed brain, octopuses are among the most intelligent invertebrates on the planet. They are capable of solving complex problems, using tools and even displaying social behavior. However, their existence is threatened by several factors, including intensive fishing, habitat destruction and climate change.

Ecologically, octopuses play a fundamental role in marine ecosystems. They are effective predators and help maintain the balance of prey populations, such as crustaceans and small fish. At the same time, they are prey for numerous species, including marine mammals and large predatory fish, thus inserting themselves crucially into the marine food chain.

Their presence is indicative of the health of marine ecosystems: a decline in octopus populations can be a warning sign for the overall health of the marine environment. Habitat loss, pollution and overfishing are putting these populations at risk, with possible repercussions for the entire marine ecosystem.

Who is Octopolis?

Octopolis, is a  group of professionals passionate about issues related to the environment and the preservation of marine ecosystems.

Our mission is to protect these incredible animals and their natural habitats by raising public awareness of the importance of preserving marine resources. Through fundraising, scientific support and collaboration with researchers and activists, Octopolis is committed to creating a sustainable future for our oceans.

Our work is guided by the conviction that the protection of marine ecosystems is fundamental to the well-being of the planet and future generations. As some of the most intelligent and fascinating marine creatures, octopuses are a crucial indicator of the health of marine ecosystems. Protecting them means protecting the entire marine environment.

The funds for the realization of the scientific project will be donated to the association La Casa dei Pesci, which will entrust the scientific monitoring to the researchers of the Magiamare -Siena research group headed by Prof. Marsili.
