BLEACHING REPORT (fwd)

[Prof Alan E Strong]

FYI -- Appreciate any further info on this activity as SSTs show hint of
increase in western Caribbean over past week...a few more tenths of a
degree in the Caymans and bleachiung may be close at hand.

HotSpots can be seen at:

Subject: BLEACHING REPORT

Al,
	Spoke with Tom [Goreau] last night.  He has just returned from the
Phillipines.  He reports that bleaching has begun in Mexico off Porto
[Puerto] Moreles, according to Bob Trench's student, Iglesias.  How does
this compare with the current SST anomaly map?  Tom would like you to send
him a current SST map, if available....  Will be in touch next week about
other possible sites of bleaching during this season.
