Thank you, Michael
It will definitely help me in the future.
There is more and more evidence to support that the “Depth refugia” does
not happen as often as we thought. In the current context of many bleaching
events, we must know all the exceptions to the “normal” patterns, as
sometimes shallower reefs (with more resistant species and individuals) may
be better refugia options.

Greetings and have a pleasant weekend.
