[MantaReport] Call to Action: Please report coral bleaching through www.eorhawaii.org

[Emma.Anders at hawaii.gov]

Please share this with divers, fishers, researchers and ocean users:

Coral bleaching is occurring now in East Oahu and is likely to happen 
throughout the state over the next several weeks (
http://coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/regions/hawaii.php).  Citizen reports 
through www.eorhawaii.org can help DLNR determine the geographical extent 
of bleaching and inform better management.  To know what to look for, 
check out this photo gallery:

Photos are a great tool to validate reports - if you have an underwater 
camera, send photos of bleached corals with information about location to: 
rrcpcoordinator at gmail.com 

Bleached corals are very sick corals so please be extra careful to avoid 
causing any other impacts while you're in the water this month.
