Abstract:

One of the Earthquakes occurred in the Indian Ocean at the Western coast in the year of 2004. In the aftermath of the tsunami, after tsunami data has emerged from field studies in several affected countries indicating that mangrove forests have played a critical role in saving human being lives and property. The trees of Mangroves have shown very successful results among the sea and ocean shore evolution with respect to time. In many extreme conditions Mangroves trees have boundaries of protection over tsunamis. The area required for the mangrove forest for resistance of tsunami of different magnitude is calculated by the tsunami hazard mapping and mangrove mapping with the help of SRTM data and Bathemetric data in global mapper software.
