Regarding the immediate Archie Bunker impacts of coral bleaching, I wonder
if even the news of heavy bleaching at a favorite dive destination might
not result in a drop in subscription.  I'n Lake Victoria, the mere
perception that something might be wrong with the exported fish has caused
import shut-downs by the EU and the loss of perhaps $1. * 10(8) in
revenues each time.
