Abstract
|
Summ ary
zx Mortality from the tsunamis was high, with more than 7,000 deaths in the Nicobar
group alone (the final number may never be known as many indigenous people on
remote islands may have perished). On the mainland, there were a similar number
of fatalities ;
zx The greatest losses were in fishing communities although the waves destroyed roads,
jetties, other basic infrastructure and entire villages;
zx There was major damage to the coastal resources of southeast India, particularly
to mangrove and coastal forests. On the Andaman and Nicobar Islands there was
considerable damage to the coral reefs and beaches, as well as the forests;
zx The earthquakes changed the bathymetry of the coral reefs and coasts of the Andaman
and Nicobars: reefs in the South Andamans to the Nicobars subsided by 1 - 3 metres;
many reefs in the northern Andamans were uplifted out of the water and died; and
some beaches have almost disappeared, while new beaches have formed;
zx There was major damage to large areas of coral reefs of the Andamans and Nicobars,
particularly due to debris being washed off the land and smothering by sediments;
zx Mainland coral reefs in the Gulf of Mannar and elsewhere suffered very minor,
localised damage. Many mainland beaches were seriously eroded; and
zx The affected reefs are expected to recover within 5-10 years, if there is effective
resource management and enforcement of legislation controlling destructive fishing,
coral mining, over-harvesting of reef resources, coastal development, sedimentation
and pollution.
