To Coral Listers: 
 
We are missing reports on coral bleaching for Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2004.

There will be a chapter on Global Threats to Coral Reefs, with summary information on recovery (or not) after 1998 bleaching; and reports of coral bleaching and mortality from 2000 to 2004.  
 
We already have information from:  
Fiji - Taveuni (Somosomo Straits), Bligh Water, Lomaivit, Kadavu, 
Tuvalu - Funafuti lagoon, 
Mauritius,  
Maldives, 
Bangladesh, 
Indonesia - Bali Seraya, Tulamben, Permuteran, Tomia, Wakatobi Islands, 
Japan -Ryukyu Islands and Ishigaki Island, 
Belize, 
Marshall Islands, 
Puerto Rico, 
Jamaica, 
Northern Persian Gulf, and 
Hawaii/NWHI.  
 
However, we lack many other regions. Do you have information from:
Middle East, Eastern Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia and PNG, Polynesia -Southeast Pacific, Micronesia, and Eastern Caribbean or anywhere.  

These will be published in Status 2004 targeted at senior decision makers and politicians, and in ReefBase.
