[Coral-List] Coral bleaching report Cuba

[Pedro Alcolado]

Dear Coral listers,
A moderate intensity coral bleaching (approx. 20-30% of colonies bleached) was reported at the end of october by the early warning volunteers of the dive Center "Coco-Diving" of CUBANACAN Náutica, at Cayo Coco (North-center of Cuba: 22º33'N; 78º 24'W). Fully white colonies dominated among bleached corals. Bleaching was observed at 12-18 m deep.
Best wishes,
Pedro
