Abstract
The earthquake of December 26 2004 that struck 30km beneath the Indian Ocean along the Andaman-Sumatera faultline, off the northwestern coast of Indonesia, triggered a tsunami that caused massive devastation on land and unprecedented loss of lives. These reefs are the gateway to the Indonesian archipelago and the Pacific for many Indian Ocean species, therefore, this is a uniquely informative community with respect to the biogeography of coral reefs. There is an urgent need for the collection of information on the impacts on existing marine resources in order to guide management of marine resources and the development of sustainable management practices.
