Abstract

During his evening promenades, a walker finds a paper with a small poem dedicated to a marine animal, whose identity is not known. To solve the riddle, the walker looks for his friend the octopus and together they elucidate about the problem. Along with this, the friends reflect on the main threats that men exert on the oceans and the importance of creating conservation measures.
