Coral bleaching looms as Hawaii faces another marine heat wave
Federal researchers warn of a severe coral bleaching season as Hawaii endures record warm ocean temperatures. In Papa Bay and around the islands, bleaching signs appear while June through August posted the hottest waters on record and 2015 remains a reference point for heat. NOAA oceanographer Jamison Gove notes long-lasting warmth and widespread bleaching with two Big Island volcanic blocks shaping hot spots. He cautions the heat wave likely to persist into October, driven by a persistent low-pressure pattern and possible climate change effects.
