A rare encounter with a small pod of Northern Right Whale Dolphins in the waters of Cortes Banks, located 100-miles off the cost of San Diego, California. These elusive dolphins have a stunning black and white coloration and they also lack a dorsal fin.
The rich marine ecosystem of Cortes Banks - an underwater mountain range - is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including many species of fish and invertebrates living near the sea floor and pelagic animals in the waters above. The unique habitat of kelp forest and surf grass at Cortes Banks, along with the influence of ocean currents, creates an oasis for animals that thrive in these special waters. Places such as this are vital to the health of our planet, processing carbon and giving back oxygen.
