[Coral-List] SCTLD on Bonaire

[Melbourne Briscoe]

I've been here 9 days so far and have three observations about SCTLD on
Bonaire:
(1) Sites are categorized by the local marine park authority (STINAPA) as
Green, Orange, or Red, meaning clean, caution, and infected. I have dived
numerous sites so far of all three colors, some 2 or 3 times.There is very
little visible difference between the sites....they all look alike in so
far as SCTLD-like issues.
(2) Maze seems he hardest hit.
(3) I have seen perhaps 10 small stands of pillar...and *none *show any
signs of disease of any kind.
