## Resource

Octopus sightings are exploding across the UK, from Scotland to Wales, marking the largest marine bloom ever recorded. Warmer seas, fueled by mild winters and warmer breeding seasons, are creating ideal conditions for these intelligent Mediterranean cephalopods. Divers and snorkelers are helping track the surge, while fishermen face a mixed reality: some lose crab and lobster catches to hungry octopuses, while others hit record-breaking hauls—with one Devon market selling 100 tons in a single day. The ecosystem is shifting too, as octopuses become prey for seals, eels, and even rare dolphins, rewriting the underwater food web.
