Hi Jim:
I did not notice anything that could be considered “new” bleaching due to this summer’s conditions. Corals were pale to begin with before the 2006 summer warming began. But Ernesto has far more data and information than I do, so I’d like to read his opinion.

No Bleaching
Even though it has been a pretty warm summer, according to the local students and other observations, there has been no widespread coral bleaching.
