Dear fellow coral reef scientists,
We all know that the unprecedented ocean temperatures this summer are causing mass bleaching across the Caribbean. We are coordinating the development of a regional database to quantify this event and we're writing to invite you all to participate.
Anybody (including students, practitioners, managers, NGO peeps, etc.) able to survey a Caribbean reef (bleached or not) OR coral nursery can contribute data and be a collaborator (i.e., co-author).
We created a simple Google form where you will answer some basic questions (e.g., name, location, site characteristics) and enter the results of your observations (e.g., the % of colonies bleached). It should not take you more than five minutes.
Link to the form to add your data: https://forms.gle/6TceCbMKwkTdhGTE7
Sincerely,
John and Gretchen
