The presentation will also show some video of and talk about octopuse and cuttlefish that live on sandy bottoms known as "muck." These include the "Wonderpus" and flamboyant cuttlefish found in the Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi.
Bio of Presentor: Ms. Huffard earned her B.S. in marine science/biology from Long Island University at Southampton in 1997, and then studied octopus taxonomy with Professor Eric Hochberg in Santa Barbara and Clyde Roper at the Smithsonian. She has spent most of the past three years away from the Bay Area, studying the behavior and ecology of Octopus aculeatus in Sulawesi, Indonesia. On the side, she helps with projects that rehabilitate coral reefs destroyed by dynamite fishing.
