Marine Mammals
Aside from the fascinating seabirds, marine mammals and fish often steal the show with amazing wildlife sightings. In my opinion some of my most memorable wildlife sightings on Texas Pelagics have been the marine mammals we’ve encountered. These photo galleries capture some of that excitement.
