The Canary Islands Sea: A treasure trove of biodiversity
The ocean surrounding the Canary Islands is a veritable sanctuary of biodiversity, harbouring more than 25 species of cetaceans of approximately 7 different families, which represents the 34.5% of known species in the world.
Here, the cold waters of the Atlantic mingle with the warm currents, creating an ideal environment for an wide variety of marine life. Among the most fascinating species that can be observed are the bottlenose dolphins, pilot whales, and fin whales. These cetaceans take advantage of the rich waters of the Canary Islands to feed and breed, and are known to perform impressive acrobatics and complex behaviours that fascinate observers.
The Canary Islands thus offer unique opportunities to observe these animalsThe park is a great place to visit, allowing visitors to see these majestic creatures up close in their natural environment.
