[Coral-List] [Fwd: [CRW Alert] Sombrero Reef: Bleaching Alert Level 1]

[Alan E Strong]

Alert from Coral Reef Watch ---

It appears that Sombrero Key has received more accumulated thermal 
stress than previously seen...now surpassing the previous accumulation 
seen in 1998.

It is finally cooling here in the DC area...hopefully relief is close at 
hand for the Keys as well...

Regards,
