Some shallower sites severe bleaching others nothing yet

Very shallow reef with substantial bleaching
This reef has recovered nicely in the past to this stress(fingers crossed)
water temp dropped a few degrees to 87.

Love the Nassau markings. We don't get them up here in Jupiter and they are always fun to see and many times 'curious' like red grouper and will come right up to you. Great shots as always!!
