These Coral Reef Bleaching Reports were initially designed and maintained by NOAA Coral Reef Watch, and are intended to allow coral reef scientists, divers and others to report any occurrence of coral bleaching. As part of a collaborative effort, ReefBase has now taken over distribution and maintenance of these Bleaching Reports. The reports are intended to assist in a wide variety of research, requiring many questions to be asked. If you do not have the knowledge and/or time to fill out all the form entries, feel free to limit yourself to the ones you can answer. Every bit of information is helpful. If you would like to report coral bleaching occurrence for more than one location, please use as many separate forms as necessary.

Instead of reporting on specific bleaching occurrences through these Bleaching Reports, you may also provide overview information on coral bleaching for your area of interest by using our Bleaching Questionnaire.

Thank you for your help.
