[Coral-List] New article: Three decades of heat stress exposure in Caribbean coral reefs: a new regional delineation to enhance conservation

[Israel Muñiz]

Hello everyone!
I am pleased to share with you a contribution to the knowledge about heat
stress exposure in Caribbean coral reefs. This paper presents an analysis
on the scale of the wider Caribbean, the ecoregions and at the local level,
finds evidence of the constant increase in heat stress in the coral reefs
of this region, describes the major events of heat stress in the last three
decades and highlights a potential point of change identified in 2003.

Here is the link to the manuscript. I hope you enjoy it.
