Dear Coral list,

I am interested in collating data on when coral bleaching has been reported (to
the day or month) in the following Pacific localities:

Nauru			approx - 2.7 S	164.5 E
Vanuatu		approx - 16.1 S	167 E
Solomon Islands	approx - 9.2 S	160.8 E
Tuvalu			approx - 7.7 S	177.2 E
New Caledonia		approx - 20 S	164 E
Tonga			approx - 19.2 S	173.5 W
Cook Islands
   north			approx - 9.9 S	161 W
   south			approx - 17.5 S	163.2 W
Kiribati			approx - 2.9 S	171.4 W

I am sorry for this intrusion but it seems that this may be the only way
extending my current records.  If you have any recollection or know of a
literature source that would track the date of particular bleaching episodes in
these areas I would be very grateful.

Cheers,

Ove
