Atlantic White-sided Dolphin
The dolphin
most likely to be seen on Stellwagen Bank trips is the Atlantic White-sided
Dolphin.. Named for the white patch on its side, it has a gray ribbon like
strip that extends from above the eye to the tail. with a gold stripe near the
tail. It readily rides the bow-wave. Notice the white stripe which is followed
by the golden stripe toward the tail.
