Dear Hector,

	As most coral-listers are aware, there are many viewpoints and
many literature sources on the phenomenon of coral bleaching.  A quick
look at the Literature Abstracts section of the CHAMP Home Page
(http://coral.aoml.noaa.gov) will gain you some familiarity with the
subject.  Below are some titles from the "Bleaching" section, but a
further perusal of that page will reveal other related topics (e.g.,
"Climate and Weather Changes Affecting Coral Reefs," and "El Nino Related
Damage").  Incidentally, our esteemed Librarian, Linda Pikula, will soon
be updating the Liberature Abstracts page with a fairly comprehensive
survey of the literature for 1996 and 1997.
