The barrier reef system of the beautiful Mesoamerica region, one of the ABS program core regions, is featured in this month’s National Geographic (October 2012 Issue).

The article and photographs might be best appreciated in print, although the online version is available here: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2012/10/mesoamerican-reef/brower-text.
