Description
Photograph of researchers on a boat speaking to an indigenous Miskito fisherman who is standing on a small thatched-roof shelter which is raised above the water on top of wooden poles. The Miskito people are a Central American indigenous group who have historically hunted sea turtles around the area of the Miskito Cays, Nicaragua. In the photograph, fishing gear can be seen on the left side of the thatched-roof shelter and a sea turtle laying on its back can be seen on the right side. This photograph was taken near the Miskito Cays, Nicaragua during the research expedition of Dr. John C. Ogden and his colleagues to Miskito Bank, Nicaragua aboard the R/V [Research Vessel] Alpha Helix from October 13, 1977 to November 18, 1977 where their research included studies on seagrasses, fish, sea urchins, and the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas).
