In its latest Caribbean Coral Reef Watch bulletin, the CIMH said that heat stress in the south-west Caribbean basin has begun to increase; however, not as significantly as last year. “Most of the eastern and northern Caribbean is forecasted to not experience notable heat stress until August. In comparison to 2020, the predictions for 2021 provide a more positive outlook of heat stress impacts,” the CIMH added.
