Abstract

An underwater photograph of a coral reef near a location known as "Cochinos Station 7" near Chachahuate, an island in the Cayos Cochinos archipelago, off the northern coast of Honduras. Several species of coral are seen in the photograph, possibly including feather plumes (Genus Pseudopterogorgia). The area in this photograph was noted by Dr. John C. Ogden as being overgrown by algae during reconnaissance of the coral reef.
