Material Detail
Surviving the Tsunami
In this radio broadcast, a researcher describes his investigations into the damage sustained by coral reef communities that were swept by the tsunami that devastated Indian Ocean coastlines in December 2004. He describes the damage as surprisingly light, as long as the coral was strongly anchored, and points out that long-term destruction of coral by human activities is far more severe than damage caused by the tsunami. The clip is 2 minutes in length.
