Fig. 15.2 The Abrolhos Archipelago names this important coral reef Bank, where humpback
whales are more abundant along the entire Brazilian coast. The shallow and warm waters in this

Ocean (Photo: Marcos Rossi-Santos/IBJ)
Fig. 15.3 The humpback whale may be sighted today along all the coast of Bahia state, including
areas with a narrow continental shelf, such as those close to the capital Salvador, where intense
