The estimated global population of dolphins is about six million.
While a precise, exact number of dolphins in the ocean is impossible to determine, we have estimates based on scientific studies and surveys. According to research:
- The global dolphin population is estimated to be around 6 million.
- Specifically, there are approximately 640,000 common dolphins residing in the North Atlantic Ocean (Hammond, 2017; Hayes, 2022).
Therefore, while a definitive count remains elusive, the best available estimate points to a global population of approximately 6 million dolphins.
