Comments
The Brittle Star was released in the ocean but the jellyfish were found during debris sorting and safely returned to the ocean. The Octopus was found in the debris bag after crawling out of a Nespresso machine that was brought back. We placed the Octopus in a bucket and scooped it up to gently lay it back in the surf where it swam away unharmed.
