Transient turbid water mass reduces temperature-induced coral bleaching and mortality in Barbados.

These observations are confirmed by median tests comparing the intensity of bleaching between both events, which show highly significant differences for all five species in September/October ( p = 0.0015 in all cases), for two species in February ( O. annularis , p = 0.0396; P. astreoides , p = 0.0496), and just one species in June ( O. annularis , p = 0.0360) ( Table 1 ).
