Habitat Restoration

We create safe havens for octopuses and monitor the health of the ecosystem.

What is Habitat Restoration?

Habitat Restoration is at the heart of our work: a project dedicated to the protection of octopuses and the regeneration of marine ecosystems.

Through the installation of terracotta pots, we recreate natural, safe shelters for octopuses, offering them a protected space to live and reproduce.

This initiative goes beyond simply placing pots: it is an act of care for the sea and a commitment to scientific research.

Project Goals

Safety

Creating alternative habitats that protect octopuses from threats such as illegal fishing and habitat destruction.

Research

Studying octopus behavior and ecosystem health, gathering valuable data for conservation.

Conservation

Restoring biodiversity and the natural balance of the Mediterranean, one pot at a time.

How it works

Installing the pots is a delicate operation that requires respect and attention.

Site selection is crucial

each location must have the right environmental conditions to safely host octopuses, avoiding any damage to the surrounding flora and fauna.

The actual placement of the pots

also depends on weather conditions: it can only be done when the sea is calm and stable.

Our team works with care and responsibility, aware that each intervention must integrate harmoniously into the marine ecosystem.

Our impact

“Each pot we place is an act of love for the sea and a step toward a healthier Mediterranean.”
