iNaturalist · HTTP://CREATIVECOMMONS.ORG/LICENSES/BY-NC/4.0/

Eagle rays cruise the rocky reef shelves and sandy channels around Cape Marshall in small groups, foraging for mollusks and crustaceans beneath the lava substrate. Their broad wingspan and spotted patterning make them unmistakable, and they show little concern for divers who approach slowly. The combination of eagle rays, marine iguanas, and cormorants in a single dive makes Cape Marshall one of the most species-rich wildlife dives in the Eastern Pacific.

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.
