Cyanea

Rising seas, coral bleaching, and her friendship with an intelligent octopus shaped Samantha's world. As a promising young marine biologist, she travels to Australia's Great Barrier Reef to study the blue octopus (Cyanea). Her interactions with these intelligent creatures challenge humanity's established views of sentient beings and ecological rights. Disturbing events at home leave her isolated from her research team. She grapples with a pressing question: Can humanity repair the damage they've done? Is a viable future for life on land and sea still possible?
