Bottlenose dolphins are year-round residents in Soufriere Bay and frequently approach dive boats at anchor. The local population is non-migratory, using the bay as a resting and feeding ground and associating loosely with the sperm whale family unit in the outer waters.

How is this calculated?

Sighting evidence is compiled from iNaturalist observation records within a set proximity radius, filtered for quality-grade observations. “Last confirmed” is the date of the most recent research-grade record. Record count covers a rolling 24-month window. Confidence reflects record count, recency, and consistency of seasonal signal.
