Welcome to Save The Octopus!
Our organization was founded by Isla Abrams, a student at the University of Pittsburgh – though at the time of its founding, she was just a high school sophomore.
Isla’s passion for ocean life began after watching a thought provoking documentary that revealed the complex intelligence and emotional depth of octopuses. Deeply moved, she felt compelled to take action and raise awareness about their welfare and the threats they face.
Save the Octopus is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public and advocating for the protection of octopuses in both natural and industrial environments. Through outreach, education, and advocacy, we strive to promote a deeper understanding of these remarkable creatures and to inspire more compassionate, sustainable practices worldwide.
We believe that through knowledge, empathy, and collective action, we can create a brighter future for these extraordinary beings.
