To put Maldives bleaching in perspective:
Thomas Flueck's recent posting on Maldives implies bleaching damage is
worse than it is. The surveys were mostly or all post-main event (April
May) so there is no way of discriminating between pre-bleaching and
bleaching period mortality. Mortality of Acroporas was very high, but it
was not as bad as implied.
Sincerely,
Bill
