The bar chart below shows numbers of seals, whales and dolphins recorded in the Gormez Straits from 2006 to 2018.

The bar chart illustrates how many sea creatures

such

as seals,

whales

and dolphins populated the Gormez Straits between 2006 and 2018.

Overall

, it may be highlighted that throughout

this

period the number of dolphins soared, the

population

of

whales

remained roughly the same and the figure for seals fluctuated, but by 2018 aligned with approximately that of 2006. A closer look allows us to see that dolphins were continuously and steadily increasing their numbers which more than tripled by 2018, that was the record for the whole period in question. As for

whales

, their

population

did not change significantly, as there were always around 20-30

whales

in the Gormez Straits throughout the 12-year period. Seals,

however

, experienced both a decrease and increase in

population

,

for instance

, their numbers plummeted by roughly 50% by 2010 and amounted to 25 individuals. Afterwards, they commenced to evenly bottom out with a number of 35 in 2014 and 45 in 2018,

thus

merely recompensing for the loss in the

population

.
