Abstract

A set of bar graphs showing the extent of coral bleaching in three species of reef coelenterates: Agaricia spp., Montastraea annularis, and Millepora spp. across three dates in 1983 and 1984. The graphs illustrate the shift from normal to bleached states in coral colonies, with a significant increase in bleaching by January 1984. Hatched sections represent areas with newly dead corals and overgrown skeletons.
