HotSpot Notes -- August 12, 1998
NOAA satellite data show "HotSpots" and related coral reef
bleaching appears to be expanding and beginning to move
southward throughout the northern and northeastern Caribbean:
Keys
Bahamas
Grand Cayman
Virgin Islands
Lesser Antilles
Jamaica
The high SSTs have even gone up slightly around Bermuda
increasing the likelihood of bleaching.
Over the Eastern Hemisphere the regions seeing potential
increased bleaching activity are:
Philippines [mostly eastern areas]
Red Sea [north & central]
Arabian/Persian Gulf
Taiwan
Okinawa area
Verifications appreciated...
