In the news<\/strong>: As much of the U.S. endures record setting heat, ocean temperatures in some areas off the Florida Coast have surpassed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, making the ocean seem more like a hot tub. Coral is highly sensitive to temperature, and while temperatures in the mid-80s can be the norm, the latest surge in temperature causes coral to “bleach,” expelling symbiotic algae and turning white. While bleaching doesn’t necessarily kill coral, it does mean they are stressed and subject to increased mortality especially as warmer than normal temperatures persist.

Improve the map<\/h2>\n

With a few additional steps, the map can be improved using styles, effects, and additional layers to make it more expressive.<\/p>\n

Experiment with different basemaps to see which you like best. You can alter layer transparency and symbols to emphasize the content you want, and use Effects<\/strong>\u00a0to emphasize layers or alter their display.<\/p>\n

The map shown below was created using the following:<\/p>\n
