This week we built some temporary planters in the shallows intending to transplant our mangrove seedlings into them. Because the heavy wave action from tropical storm Sara knocked over a block, we decided to move them closer to shore. As we moved the blocks, we disturbed the sleep of a beautiful Caribbean Reef octopus. He’s not really a morning kind of guy, so was reluctant to leave his napping spot. I had to gently nudge him until he slid off into the water. Hopefully he ‘sticks’ around and we can see him again. Haha
