    The massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami waves that originated off the west coast of northern Sumatra caused extensive loss of lives and damage to coastal communities in countries affected. Damage included loss of whole villages, homes, fishing and aquaculture infrastructure, fishing vessels and gear, aquaculture facilities and markets, as well as other livelihood assets. As an initial coordination step, the regional fishery bodies in the region banded together and formed a consortium to Re store Shattered Livelihoods in Tsunami-devastated Nations (CONSRN). A workshop was organized to discuss overall policy directions on which to base reconstruction and rehabilitation. One year later a second workshop was held on 30 to 31 March 2006 in Bangkok, Thailand to review progress in rehabilitation of fisheries and aquaculture in coastal communities of tsunami affected countries in Asia. The meeting was attended by 40 participants including representatives from India, Indonesia, Malaysia, M aldives, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand as well as by representatives of CONSRN, donor agencies and NGOs. This document presents the report of the workshop which reviewed the issues that emerged from the tsunami rehabilitation process and recommended future directions for addressing outstanding needs and achievement of national strategic policies regarding tsunami rehabilitation.

    Regional strategic framework. Rehabilitation of fisheries and aquaculture in tsunami affected countries in Asia 2005
    Also available in:

    The massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami waves that originated off the west coast of northern Sumatra on 26 December 2004 caused extensive damage to coastal communities. The majority of those affected had agriculture–fisheries based livelihoods or were employed in associated enterprises. As we move away from immediate emergency relief to reconstruction and rehabilitation in the mid- to long-term there is a much greater need for coordination of efforts. To fill this gap a consortium of key regional agencies involved in fisheries and aquaculture (CONSRN) organized a workshop from 28 February to 1 March 2005 to consult with impacted countries and to guide the development of a regional strategy and programme framework for rehabilitation based on regional perspectives and country dimensions. The regional strategic framework developed at the workshop is intended to support not just the work of the partners, but also to guide and inform other agencies involved in the broader tsunami reh abilitation and development work.

    Waves of hope. Report of the regional coordination workshop on rehabilitation of tsunami-affected forest ecosystems: strategies and new directions 2005

    In an instant the 26 December 2004 tsunami devastated the lives of millions living in the coastal communities of the affected countries. FAO has taken on the task, together with other international and national organizations, in fielding experts to assess the damage and identify critical needs. In the process it has become evident that many organizations are working without the benefit of exchanging information and lessons learned, collaborating fully or coordinating effectively. To help remedy these gaps, FAO organized the above workshop in Bangkok, Thailand from 7 to 8 March 2005 to enhance rehabilitation efforts in the tsunami-affected areas through better coordination of national, regional and international agencies involved in forest rehabilitation and management of the affected areas. The report includes an outline of the critical issues identified, a common vision and principles that should guide forest related rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts, recommendations for stren gthening coordination efforts in the region and summaries of the technical presentations and discussions.
