My wife and I were in Bonaire last October. We had to leave on Saturday morning and missed the coral spawning which started that night. We are planning another trip this October or November and would like to schedule it around the coral spawning event this year, if at all possible.

How do I find out what the predicted dates are for the coral spawning?

Full moon in August? I would do a word key search and I'm sure you will find all the information needed.

Well I did the Keyword search, you have to put in 365 days! Took me a while to get anything to come up.

What I gather is it's during August-Sept 3-9 days after the full moon. It also depends on the temperture of the water?

Maybe someone with some knowlege on this will help?

bye,
Ida

The main spawning is in September starting 7 days after the full moon. There is a smaller spawning at the same time in August and October.

WWW.Habitatdiveresorts.com have the times on their web site.

Good luck, we will be there in September.
