有记录以来的最高海面温度与1997-98年厄尔尼诺/南方涛动和全球变暖有关，导致1998年全球珊瑚严重白化。这种热异常导致伯利兹泻湖珊瑚礁上的石珊瑚大量死亡，这是加勒比海珊瑚种群首次因漂白而完全崩溃。从伯利兹珊瑚礁中提取的岩心表明，这些事件至少在过去3,000年中是前所未有的。
The highest sea surface temperatures ever recorded, related both to the 1997–98 El Niño/Southern Oscillation and to global warming, caused severe bleaching of corals worldwide in 1998 (ref. ). This thermal anomaly induced mass mortality of scleractinian corals on lagoonal reefs in Belize, the first time that a coral population in the Caribbean has collapsed completely from bleaching. Cores extracted from the Belizean reefs showed that these events were unprecedented over at least the past 3,000 years.
