Abstract

Field notes written by Dr. John C. Ogden describing the research activities of he and his wife at the San Blas Islands of Panama in 1991. The field notes describe the marine species (including corals, fish, urchins, and algae) observed and the overall conditions of the coral reefs of the San Blas Islands. Included in the field notes are hand-drawn maps of research locations showing the locations of coral species and other aquatic species observed. Also included are numeric data related to numbers of fish observed at particular fish migration routes. Dr. John Ogden and Nancy Ogden were returning to the San Blas Islands of Panama in 1991 after they had previously done research in the same area twenty years earlier in 1971. Their research aim was to document and investigate changes in the coral reefs of the San Blas Islands which had occured over this twenty year period.
