<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Coral bleaching is occurring now in
East Oahu and is likely to happen throughout the state over the next several
weeks (</font><a href=http://coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/regions/hawaii.php><font size=2 face="sans-serif">http://coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/regions/hawaii.php</font></a><font size=2 face="sans-serif">).
Citizen reports through </font><a href=www.eorhawaii.org><font size=2 face="sans-serif">www.eorhawaii.org</font></a><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
can help DLNR determine the geographical extent of bleaching and inform
better management. To know what to look for, check out this photo

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Photos are a great tool to validate
reports - if you have an underwater camera, send photos of bleached corals
with information about location to: </font><font size=2 face="Calibri">rrcpcoordinator@gmail.com

so please be extra careful to avoid causing any other impacts while you're
in the water this month.</font>
