[Etichscuba at aol.com]

An update on the bleaching event of Meandrina meandrites in Boynton Beach, 
FL. On November 13 only about 5% of the Meandrina colonies in the study area 
remained bleached. Nearly 1/3 are recovering and exhibit a light brown, honey 
colored pigmentation. The onset, peak and recovery of the 2004 Meandrina 
bleaching cycle is consistent with the observations of the last four years. Additional 
information and photos are posted at:
