According to Steve Simpson, a professor of marine biology at the University of Bristol, “climate change is a likely driver” of the population boom. “We are right on the northern limit of the octopus species range, but our waters are getting warmer, so our little island of Great Britain is becoming increasingly favorable for octopus populations,” he said.
I think this is happening to sharks too. Its not an “invasion”, these animals habitats are being destroyed. They are looking for food. We are invading them. Climate change, netting and other mass food gathering methods destroying their reefs and other biomes.
I hate that “octopi” isn’t correct. It’s so much easier to pronounce than “octopuses”.
I prefer Octopodes
Octochodes

Octopods is correct and a little easier to say.
