Two fishermen had a rare opportunity to see a blanket octopus, last seen in South Australia’s southeast coast almost 30-years ago. Jakyb Sharman and his friend were fishing in the St Vincent Gulf, between Ardrossan and Price, when something that appeared to be a plastic bag in the water caught their eye. The men, who were about to head home, turned their boat around, thinking they should remove the rubbish from the ocean.
She said seeing one south of Sydney or Perth and near the shore was “incredible.” “It could be the animal’s coming down on the warm current coming down the west coast of Australia,” Doubleday said. “If it’s in colder waters, it might be struggling to survive, it might be unhealthy, it might be dying.” The last official recorded sighting of a blanket octopus was in 2022 near the Great Barrier Reef. It’s believed they have only been seen a handful of other times in Australia.
