Also available in:
No results found.In an instant the 26 December 2004 tsunami devastated the lives of millions living in the coastal communities of the affected countries. FAO has taken on the task, together with other international and national organizations, in fielding experts to assess the damage and identify critical needs. In the process it has become evident that many organizations are working without the benefit of exchanging information and lessons learned, collaborating fully or coordinating effectively. To help remedy these gaps, FAO organized the above workshop in Bangkok, Thailand from 7 to 8 March 2005 to enhance rehabilitation efforts in the tsunami-affected areas through better coordination of national, regional and international agencies involved in forest rehabilitation and management of the affected areas. The report includes an outline of the critical issues identified, a common vision and principles that should guide forest related rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts, recommendations for stren gthening coordination efforts in the region and summaries of the technical presentations and discussions. -

The Ministry of Fisheries (MoF) in Tonga released an initial damage report on 1 February 2022, with a focus on damage to fisheries assets covering small-scale, tuna and snapper vessels, and their engines and gear. The total estimated damage for the fisheries and aquaculture sub-sector was TOP 10.85 million (USD 4.932 million). This report complements the MoF damage report, with an emphasis on associated losses in the fisheries and aquaculture sector as a result of the volcanic ash cloud and tsunami events. -
