Geographic Coverage

The population of the coastal bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) inhabiting the inner estuary of the Gulf of Guayaquil, Ecuador. The Gulf of Guayaquil is the largest estuary on the west coast of South America covering around 12 000 km2. It is located in the south‐western part of Ecuador. Geographically, the gulf may be divided into an outer estuary west of the Puná Island between 80°15″W and 81°W, and an inner estuary that extends to the east and north‐east of Puná Island nearly 130 km within the continent (Stevenson, 1981).
