[Coral-List] Opinion poll on bleaching

[martin pecheux]

Dear all,

This is an opinion poll among reef researchers on our "best guess" of the future impact of bleaching. Some of you may remember the same two polls in June 2000 and October 2004, before ICRS. Just REply> by your choice number (commentaries not excluded). Would you say that Coral Reef Mass Bleaching will be :

0/ a benefit to coral reefs

1/ of no overall effects, or balanced negative and positive influences

2/ worrisome

3/ seriously damaging

4/ catastrophic

5/ almost or total disappearance of reefs

 Results in 15 days, with previous ones.

Thanks,
