They are the most numerous fish in the sea. The most numerous animal on earth with a backbone. The lantern fish, or sardina roja, sink more carbon than all the world’s forests, and only swims in deep dark waters.

Except in the Offshore Osa Marine Hot Spot, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. This upwelling of lantern fish fuel Costa Rica’s, and the world’s, largest dolphin pods known, and Costa Rica’s largest concentrated carbon capture area. Gigantic amounts of other marine life like tuna, sharks, rays, billfish, and more, also take part in the 24 hour all you can eat, free, sashimi bar. No wonder the dolphins feel like partying!
