The impacts of high temperatures on coral reefs have been exhaustively documented since I developed the Coral Bleaching HotSpot method in 1990, which has been used to successfully predict the location, timing, and intensity of all major coral bleaching episodes worldwide before it can be seen in the field. The impacts of even small amounts of nutrients on ...

Grief on the Reef
The entire reef has been in a bleaching hotspot for the past month, and excessively hot water is still spreading and intensifying, says Tom Goreau of the Global Coral Reef Alliance in Cambridge, MA who issued the first warnings of the last bleaching epidemic two years ago. The sea is currently up to 2C warmer than normal. Goreau predicts ...
