Hello, coral-listers,
For those of you who may be interested, below are two recent videos of the reefs of Komodo National Park, west of Labuan Bajo, Indonesia.
These were recorded in late July, early August, with evidence of bleaching of corals and anemones on the warmer reefs in the N and NW areas of the park. The second video shows several fully bleached anemones. Local dive guides indicated that they had not seen bleaching like this before.
Otherwise, these reefs are amazingly vibrant, with abundant fish life and surprisingly large green turtles.
