Acehtsunami

The destruction by the tsunami has been terribly evident on land, but what about under water marine life and coral reefs? After tsunami coral reef communities may have been tattered into pieces in some areas and throttled by heaps of mud and garbage in other places. The direct impact of severe wave energy on near shore habitats like coral reefs, sea grasses and mangroves will be extensive.

Various species of coral reefs, algae and other marine invertebrates are really fragile and cannot resist turbulent soaring force .Consequently; these species are mostly vulnerable to the destructive wave energy created by this tsunami. Nurseries of young fish and turtles in mangroves and marshland will be shattered probably endangering the future fishing crops for decades.

While most of the large aquatic animals possibly escape to deeper waters as the gigantic waves hit the land, garbage such as fishing gear and sharp, rusting metal creates risks for the animals on future. Amongst them most affected vital marine lives are coral reefs. These complex communities are made up of limestone, made by camp of coral cysts and algae. This arrangement bears more species per unit than any other aquatic environment, counting endless species of fish, sea horses, sea turtles and sponges. Coral reefs will start recovering from damage caused by high intensity waves called tsunami in a span of four years
