Rachel Carson and Bob Hines Conducting Marine Biology Research in the Florida Keys, 1952

Two people (Rachel Carson on the left, Bob Hines on the right), standing in shallow ocean water; the water level is just above their ankles. They are bending over, holding a Sea Sponge between them, examining it. Hines is holding a knife near the Sponge, while Carson is holding some sort of apparatus (floating on the water's surface) in her other hand.
