Spotted eagle rays are the signature species at Chagville Point, drawn by the mollusks and crustaceans buried in the rubble slope. They typically travel in pairs or small groups, their distinctive white-spotted mantles visible from 15 meters away as they glide past the reef edge. The Columbus Channel upwelling concentrates their prey, making this one of the most reliable eagle ray sites in Trinidad.

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.
