A notable observation during Papahānaumokuākea ROV and Mapping expedition Dive 10 was a high abundance of predatory chitons. These chitons were observed frequently throughout the latter portion of the dive, often among the bases of corals (as in this image). Image courtesy of NOAA Ocean Exploration, 2025 Beyond the Blue.
