Tsunamis and Mangroves: The Shrimp Connection

The aftermath of the Indonesian tsunami is beyond comprehension, causing us to ask, 'What could have been done to reduce this terrible loss of life?' Since tsunamis are rare in the Indian Ocean (the last significant one was in 1883) and because of the relative poverty of most nations in this region, it is understandable that a tsunami warning system does not exist for the Indian Ocean. Yet even in the absence of a tsunami warning system, the resulting deaths and damages could have been mitigated if one simple precaution had been observed; stop destroying mangrove forests.
