The award will support Dr. Lang with "rapid response                       funding" to conduct some preliminary studies of the coral-                      bleaching phenomenon recently affecting reefs in the western                    tropical Atlantic Ocean.  Dr. Lang will lead a collaborative                    effort to (1) give a general assessment of the extent of the                    bleaching phenomenon in the western tropical Atlantic in order to               document the region wide patterns of occurrence; (2) organize the               repeated monitoring over a year period of four specific                         (Venezuela, St. Croix USVI, Florida Keys, Bahamas) areas which                  represent a range of reef types (on the basis of geography within               the region, proximity to continental influences, degree of reef                 development), (3) establish a base of coral samples at the four                 sites for measuring the growth responses of bleached and control                coral colonies, (4) facilitate repetitive assessments in                        additional regions that have ongoing programs (Bermuda, Panama,                 Puerto Rico, Columbia, St. John USVI), and (5) conduct an                       analysis of transect and environmental data with the assistance                 of Dr. Howard Lasker (SUNY Buffalo) and Dr. Richard Dodge (Nova                 University).//
