Eastern Pacific High Sea

Far off northern Peru, the eastern Pacific lies west of the Lobos de Afuera islands and the dry coast of Lambayeque. Cold, nutrient-rich waters of the Humboldt Current support fish and the seabirds that feed on them. On the rocky Lobos de Afuera, guanay cormorants and Peruvian diving petrels nest among a scattering of reefs and islets.
