A dolphin leaps through the waters off Atauro Island, Timor-Leste. According to joint research conducted in 2008 between the Australian Institute of Marine Science and the Timorese Government, the deep water just off the Timor-Leste coast is a ""global hotspot"" for cetaceans. The seasonal east-west migration of dolphins, porpoises and whales, confirms what several cetologists have long suspected - that the deep oceanic waters off Timor-Leste, along the Wetar and Ombai Strait, are a major migratory route between the Pacific and Indian Ocean for marine wildlife.
