Taj Coral Reef


I found this rather gorgeous picture of the Maldives. One of the tiny islands (Taj Coral reef) reserved for romance. But note the location of the little huts...Right on the beach front. They didn't stand a chance there. Will anyone feel safe in those Islands again? On the news Travel Agents were urging people not to cancel their holidays there. You know I refuse to be intimidated by terrorists but nature? I was wondering how the sealife and birds are affected by a Tsunami? Are they damaged in anyway? I believe there's lots of sharks and stuff in that area. Posted by Hello

"The water in the lagoon is so contaminated with dead bodies that most of the fish and crabs in the lagoon are dying," This from a report on the Papua New Guinea Tsunami that struck in 1998.

"High sea waves; inundation of water Flooding and impact damage to buildings and crops; High winds scour land; salinate wells and standing water "
From University of Winsconsin Disaster management centre

Hope that fills a few blanks for you ! Happy New Year
