Common Dolphins were caught on camera by a tourist boat stampeding in the water and an underwater camera even caught them beneath the surface.
Although the news stories on this concentration say the cause was unknown, a similar story of giant squid concentrated off Dana Point was in the news---sounds suspiciously like reporters are lazy across the board.
The tour guide says there are 450,000 dolphins off the California Coast as opposed to two hundred in the entire Mediterranean: a sad fact if true.
Large numbers exist off Florida and around the Bahamas, but I don't know if the warm Gulf Stream brings up as much food as the warm Humboldt Current off California & the entire West Coast including Alaska.
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck
