[Coral-List] temperature tolerance in hard corals

[Medio, David]

has anyone done reserach in the persian Gulf on temperature tolerance
for hard corals. I am looking at advising UAE authorities on Delta ts
associated with potential discharges from port related infrastructure.

As many of you know thare have been 1C anomalies there in 1996 and 1998
with catastrophic consequences.

Any references greatly appreciated.
