There was only one confirmed oppotunistic sightings of striped dolphins recorded over the four field seasons of effort of the leeward coast of Domincia. The striped dolphin is typically sighted far offshore. Figure 11, below, identifies the location and distribution of all striped dolphin sightings across all four field seasons.

For distributions for other species, click on species of interest: sperm whale , pantropical spotted dolphin , Fraser's dolphin, bottlenose dolphin, false killer whale, humpback whale, short-finned pilot whale, melon-headed whale, Cuvier's beaked whale, rough-toothed dolphin, Atlantic spotted dolphin, Gervais' beaked whale, and the distribution of unidentified sightings.
