Abstract
|
zx 2 people lost their lives: about 310 fishermen (and their dependants) were affected by
significant damage to houses, infrastructure, fishing boats and equipment;
zx The waves, exacerbated by torrential rain, flooded low lying areas and caused widespread
damage to beaches, harbours, sea walls, coastal vegetation, roads, and bridges;
zx Approximately 35% of the artisanal fishing fleet (141 boats) suffered some damage;
zx The estimated infrastructure and fishing fleet losses are US$30 million; fishing and
tourism companies also suffered economic losses with reduced foreign currency
flows, money diversions for assistance and loss of employment;
zx The tsunami had generally minor impacts on the coral reefs of the inner Seychelles;
but there was significant damage at a few sites. The only coral reefs that were
damaged were either in the direct path of the tsunami or were growing on coral
rubble formed after the 1998 bleaching;
zx The major effect of the tsunami has been to retard coral reef recovery by killing or damaging
new corals that replaced those lost in 1998, and to destabilise coral rubble; and
zx Reducing chronic sources of degradation such as over-exploitation, destructive
fishing (traps), pollution and sedimentation from land reclamation and coastal
development will promote recovery.
