Hi all! I have a bit of an odd question and you seem like the group who might have the best information/resources.
I'm currently participating in a week long, international scavenger hunt that benefits the charity Random Acts. (You can see all about it at Gish) We have 200 random tasks to complete in a week and one of them requires an octopus! Here is the actual wording of the task:
Let an octopus use your GoPro. You are not allowed to harm the octopus in any way. Edit footage down to 14 seconds of video.
I'm in the Portland, Oregon area and have a GoPro but my team hasn't had much luck finding an octopus. Would any of you have any leads for us? The Hatfield Marine Science Center which generally has a hands on encounter is currently not an option because their octopus recently laid eggs. If you have any idea how I could find a local person with an octopus, it would be greatly appreciated. If you have an octopus and a GoPro and would willing to get some footage, that would be an option too! Honestly, any tips on how to do this in the safest, most respectful way would be fantastic.
Thank you!
