Description:
Title:
Coral Bleaching HotSpots
Abstract:
Coral bleaching is considered a long term threat to the health of corals. Coral bleaching events have been noted in areas where the sea surface temperature (SST) exceeds the climatological maximum for that region by 1 degree C or more. Observations are given from 1997 to the present. The reports of coral bleaching are collected from an informal network of coral reef researchers and observers.
