[Coral-List] ICRS Session on Coral Bleaching

[Dr. C. Mark Eakin]

We are currently in the midst of a global coral bleaching event that has been ongoing since June 2014 and, with the currently strong El Niño, is likely to continue in 2016. We encourage you to propose presentations on the extent of bleaching you have observed, management responses to this or other bleaching events, and how information obtained on bleaching can be used to enhance coral reef resilience in the face of climate change.

Cheers,
Mark
