1983年2月至4月期间，在帕纳马太平洋一侧的一个地区(奇里奎湾)和加拉帕戈斯群岛发生的大规模“漂白”(虫黄藻丧失)和珊瑚礁死亡，在这些地区一直持续到1983年9月至10月，造成了灾难性的骚乱。随后在热带东太平洋大部分地区(哥斯达黎加、帕纳马整个太平洋沿岸和哥伦比亚)、中西太平洋、西大西洋部分地区(哥斯达黎加、巴拿马和哥伦比亚的加勒比海沿岸)以及佛罗里达群岛和巴哈马群岛也报告了类似事件。
The massive ‘bleaching’ (loss of zooxanthellae) and death of reef corals that occurred in one area (Gulf of Chiriquí) on the Pacific side of Panamá and in the Galápagos Islands during February—April 1983 continued in these areas until September—October 1983, resulting in a catastrophic disturbance. Similar episodes have been reported subsequently throughout much of the tropical eastern Pacific region (Costa Rica, the entire Pacific coast of Panamá, and Colombia), in the central and western Pacific Ocean, in parts of the western Atlantic Ocean (Caribbean coasts of Costa Rica, Panamá, and Colombia), and in the Florida Keys and Bahama Islands.
