write a newspaper report in 150 words on the recent natural disaster that hit nicobar island.
Answers
Answer:
Superseding initial reports that documented 60 to 70 percent mangrove cover loss, a new study reveals that in fact 97 percent of mangrove cover in the Nicobar Islands was razed due to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
The mammoth natural disturbance triggered the emergence of potential habitats for restoring mangroves and uncovered hitherto unrecorded mangrove species in the Nicobar Islands.
The study recommends measures to step up science-based mangrove restoration in a post-disaster scenario.
The 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake followed by the catastrophic tsunami gobbled up landmass and stripped the coast of trees in the Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean. Mangroves, which flourish where land and water meet, bore the brunt of the natural disaster.
Superseding initial reports that documented 60 to 70 percent mangrove cover loss, a new study reveals that in fact 97 percent of mangrove cover was razed due to the event.
But the field study also points to a silver lining: the natural disturbance triggered the emergence of potential habitats for regrowing mangroves and uncovered hitherto unrecorded mangrove species in the Nicobar islands.
“A large number of trees were uprooted and most of the inter-tidal habitats were permanently submerged causing large scale tree mortality. However, the land drowning also created new inter-tidal habitats with potential for mangrove re-establishment at the erstwhile coastal terrestrial habitats and human settlements,” Nehru Prabakaran of Wildlife Institute of India, lead author of the study, told Mongabay-India.
The intertidal zone is the area between the highest-tide marks and lowest-tide marks. This habitat is covered with water at high tide and exposed to air at low tide.
