I am reading an article for my Spanish class, but this word isn't in any of my dictionaries. In context, it is, "El número de inmigrantes cubanos interceptados en altamar que intentan llegar a Florida, Estados Unidos, en lo que va de este año excedió ya el total registrado durante todo el 2006, revelaron cifras oficiales."

Altamar = open sea
The sentence translates directly to...
The number of intercepted Cuban immigrants in open sea who try to arrive at Florida, the United States, in which the 2006 go of this year exceeded the total registered throughout already, revealed official numbers.
So, it should in English be...
The number of intercepted Cuban immigrants in the open sea who try to arrive at Florida, the United States, already exceed the registered numbers from 2006, revealed official numbers.
This website is awesome for assisting...
