[Coral-List] more coral papers: bleaching, interventions, calcification

[Douglas Fenner]

Usually, along east coasts, surface currents move away from the equator,
and along west coasts they move towards the equator.  Wikipedia has a nice
diagram of the basics.

     So currents usually carry warm water away from the tropics, and cold
water towards the tropics.
Cheers,  Doug
