[Coral-List] Photos of White Plague (Melissa Keyes)

[Etichscuba at aol.com]

For the last 6-8 weeks I have seen the same White Plague disease effecting  
Diploria corals in Boynton Beach, Florida. On a July 3 dive on a section of 
reef  from 26 30 300 N to 26 30 500 N, we observed about 20% Diploria infected.   
Also, some heads that were first observed infected in May are now, completely 
 white.
 
Are there other reports of this in south Florida? Is there someone tracking  
this? Who should this be reported to?
