Octopus are suddenly everywhere along England’s south coast—fishermen in Cornwall are hauling in 13 times more than usual, and experts are calling 2025 “the year of the octopus.” The last time this happened was back in the 1950s! Milder winters and a warm spring seem to have set the stage for this marine comeback, but no one’s sure how long it’ll last. While octopuses help balance the ecosystem, some worry about their impact on crab catches. Have you noticed any changes at your local beach or seafood market? What do you think this means for our coastal communities? #Science #Cornwall #Octopus
