Baleen whales completely lack teeth and filter small prey such as plankton, worms, and
baitfish from the water using rows of baleen arranged in their mouths like sieves.
Seven to 9 miles off the coast, sprinkled along a 20 - mile stretch between Dangriga and Placencia, these narrow shallows rise
from 50 to 70 feet of water where Spanish mackerel, bonito, bar jacks and jack crevalle constantly tear into schools of
baitfish beneath frigate birds hoping for an easy meal.
