Summary

Abstract

Marine mammals depicted in the Puerto Rico atlas include whales, dolphins, and manatees. Concentration areas and highly sensitive areas for humpback whales, sperm whales, and manatees are specifically indicated on the maps. These areas include nearshore humpback migration routes along the northern coast of Puerto Rico, humpback and sperm whale breeding and calving areas, and known concentration areas or aggregation sites for manatees (based mainly on USFWS manatee surveys). It should be recognized that humpback and sperm whales, and other whales and dolphins, can occur throughout nearly all marine waters of Puerto Rico. Likewise, manatees commonly occur throughout all coastal waters of Puerto Rico, not just in the concentration areas depicted. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
