The Proceedings for the Mexican Workshop in Puerto Morelos outlines the presentations and discussions that were held over a three week period. The research and discussions covered coral bleaching and disease and new techniques in the physiology of stress. Involving over 60 students and scholars from 10 nations, the workshop proceedings should be of interest to people interested in the issues of environmental stress and coral reefs. While very much a work in progress, the discussions and presentations represent cutting edge opinions and research. Please read with the caution that they are not peer reviewed.
