Fraser's dolphin in Florida, by the numbers

Rare in Florida 104th most recorded of 116 mammals logged in Florida

Records from 2000–2026.

Seasonality

No dated Florida records from 2000 to 2026.

Fraser’s dolphin has no Florida records from 2000 through 2026, from either iNaturalist or GBIF. That’s consistent with a species that lives in deep offshore water and mostly reaches the record books through strandings or research surveys, not encounters near shore. USGS doesn’t flag it as nonindigenous in Florida, so it’s treated as native to the state’s mapped range.

Without a single record in that span, there’s no seasonal or local pattern to describe for Fraser’s dolphin in Florida.
