๐Ÿ™ The CRM's Octopolis Project webpage is now LIVE!

Explore the story, photos, videos, and journey behind our giant 20-foot octopus > from salvaged materials to a future artificial reef. You'll even find a "How To" video showing how to make patchwork panels for the octopus skin.

Interested in helping? Email us at [email protected]. We'd love the extra hands and are happy to answer any questions!

๐Ÿ“… All completed panels must be returned by June 30.
