Seventy-nine percent of the octopuses that we found were in the intertidal
zone between +2 and -1.5 m mean lower low water (MLLW). The predominance of
octopus in the intertidal, the higher densities on shallow dives compared to
deep dives, and the return of disturbed individuals to the intertidal all
suggest that intertidal areas are important habitat for octopuses in the
Sound.
