Scientists aboard the Exploration Vessel
Nautilus
have found 83 deep-sea species, including a purple octopus, living almost a mile deep in sites off Trinidad’s east coast in the El Pilar area, a place earmarked
for oil and gas exploration. This new species of Graneledone octopus was spotted off Trinidad’s east coast during a 2014 Nautilus trip to El Pilar.
