>From *A key to bleaching events?  Location, location, location*, it
reads “Corals from East Africa to the central Indian Ocean experienced high
levels of bleaching, whereas those farther east, in places like Fiji,
seemed to fare somewhat better”. If you picture the ocean conveyor belt,
you’ll see that it trasnsports cold water along East Africa and to the
central Indian Ocean, and warm water farther east. One hypothesis would be
that corals in places like Fiji are used to a slightly higher temperature.
