The Guadeloupian seabeds abound in animals and plants. Corals, sea fans and sponges form a coral reef that hosts about 250 fish species. Among them, you will find the surgeonfish, the boxfish, parrot-fish, angelfish but also morays, shellfish, anemones, jellyfish, starfish and sea cucumber. Several species of turtles have also chosen the Guadeloupian waters as their habitat. The imbricate turtle is also among the most frequently observed animals. Like the name indicates it, its carapace is formed by imbricate shells like tiles on a roof. It lives in the coral reefs and the rocky areas that are not too deep, exclusively eating sponges. Off the shore of Guadeloupe, you will certainly have the chance to see dolphins, sperm whales and whales.
