This paper describes an auditory display of Hawaii's 2019 coral bleaching data via means of spatial audio and parameter mapping methods. Selected data fields spanning 78 days are mapped to sound surrogates of coral reefs' natural soundscapes, which are progressively altered in their constituent elements as the corresponding coral locations undergo bleaching. For some of these elements, this process outlines a trajectory from a dense to a sparser, reduced soundscape, while for others it translates moving away from harmonic tones and towards complex spectra. This experiment is accompanied by a short evaluation study to contextualize it in an established aesthetic perspective space and to probe its potential for public engagement in the discourse around climate change.
