Abstract

Hand-drawn sketches and diagrams of coral reef reconnaissance sites at the Cayos Cochinos archipelago off the northern coast of Honduras. The sketches show the elevation and structure of each coral reef survey site as well as the species of corals, seagrass, and other organisms that were observed there, including staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis), elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata), soft corals (Genus Gorgonia), boulder star coral, also called lobed star coral, (Orbicella annularis, formerly known as Montastrea annularis), sea stars of Genus Oreaster, and seagrasses of Genera Thalassia, Halophila, and Syringodium. The sketches and diagrams were created by Dr. John C. Ogden and Nancy B. Ogden during their coral reef reconnaissance survey of the Cayos Cochinos archipelago.
