Octopus tracking project in Kachemak Bay, Alaska

A team of researchers; David Scheel, Tania Vincent, Lauren Bisson, and myself are conducting an octopus tracking project in Kachemak Bay, AK.  We are staying at the Kasitsna Bay Laboratory, utilizing its plush accommodations.  The study aims to track the movements of the giant pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) near crab pot fishing gear.
