Montserrat had almost no data on the whales passing its coast, so a small local nonprofit strung hydrophones across three quarters of its waters and now points them at sperm whales in the deep.

44kmLength of coastline covered by the hydrophone network

We research and write every entry ourselves, so there’s no self-serve editing — but corrections from people who know Island Solutions first-hand are the best ones we get.

A public page or report we can cite. Without one we usually can’t publish a change.
