Where White grunt has been recorded
GBIF occurrence records for Haemulon plumierii, mapped and tabulated by country.
82,870 georeferenced occurrence records with coordinates are published for Haemulon plumierii through GBIF, from 40 countries or marine areas. This page maps those records and lists where they come from. Occurrence records reflect where people have looked as well as where the species lives, so well-surveyed coastlines are over-represented.

How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 82,870 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 32 of the 40 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 22 records in total (Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), Barbados, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Lucia, Guyana, Tonga, Bermuda, Dominica).
36 records plotting inland were omitted: for a marine species those are almost always the holding institution's coordinates rather than a collection site.
Records show where the species has been observed and reported, not a modelled range.
