Introduction Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam province is located at the tip at the northern tip of Sumatra island, precisely between 2° to 6 ° Latitude North and 95 ° to 98 ° West Longitude. The average altitude of the province is about 125 metes above the sea level. The highest elevation is 3.149 meters above sea level which is located at Lauser Mount, in Leuser Park situated in South East Aceh Regency. Geographically this region is adjacent to the Malacca Strait waters on the North and East sides, North Sumatra Province on the South side and with the Indian Ocean on the Western side The total area of the province is 57,365.57 Km2. This land area is divided into several types of uses. There are 35 mountains or peaks, and 73 main rivers that cups ties with into North and East coast of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province. The total sea area of about 295,370 Km2 and included in this is an EEZ of about 238,807 Km2. 4 Administratively, Aceh province consists of 16 regencies, 4 cities, 216 sub-districts, 642 instances and 5,750 villages. NAD Province (besides the mainland) consist of small islands (119 units), distributed as a Free trade Zone and Freeport of Sabang (Sabang City and Pulo Aceh); Simeleu Islands, and Banyak Islands. In 2002, the total population was estimated at: 4,166.040 inhabitants. The population density varies according to the Regency. As indicated in the following table, the major density is in Banda Aceh, the provincial capital with 3600 persons/km2, while the lowest density is found in Gayo Luas Regency, with only 11 persons/Km2. On 26 December 2005, an earthquake and tsunami had disastrous effects on NAD province taking the lives of over 200.000 people. In addition there was extensive infrastructural damage all along the coasts on the Province including the offshore islands. 2. The Mission and Activities Date and Duration of Mission His mission has started on January 20th, 2005 for 2 months Terms of Reference 1. Review the damage assessment report on the situation of the small-scale fisheries sector with particular attention on the most urgent relief needs of tsunami-affected and vulnerable populations. 2. Assist in the selection of local supplier, transportation and storage of the boats and fishing gear to the provinces and its distribution to the beneficiaries. 3. Carry out field supervision and monitoring of the project activities and appraise the overall project progress and performance. 4. Assist in the preparation of all technical specification for the equipment and supplies to be ordered by project. 5. Undertake a process of beneficiary selection and identify, in collaboration with the beneficiary community leaders, the provincial fisheries service and international consultant fisheries expert. 6. Assist the team leader national consultant in the preparation of a final report, preferably illustrated with appropriate photos of the equipment and its use by the beneficiaries. This report will include a detailed description of the activities conducted, project result, impact of project activities, findings, conclusions and recommendations for future development of the fishery sector. 7. Perform other related duties and activities upon instruction from the chief, TCEO. 3. Activities The National Consultant (Fisheries), started to work at January 20th 2005, and was briefed by the Assistant Resident Representative Dr. H. Benni Sormin 5 At January 21st 2005, the consultant departed for Banda Aceh and met with the FAO staff there. The consultant conducted the assessment of the damages and needs along the East and West coats of NAD Province. 4. Coordination Coordination with MMAF Province of NAD The consultant met with Mr. Ir. Iskandar Achmad, chief deputy of Fisheries and Marine NAD Province service. Telephone link was made with Mr. Ir. Said Mustafa the chief of Fisheries and Marine NAD Province service to discuss FAO activities after the tsunami. Consultations were held with the Fisheries and Marine NAD Province service and Fisheries Advisor FAO Aceh Mr. Ulrich W Schmidt. Meetings were also held with Satgas DKP Team at January 23rd 2005. Results of the meetings were: Cooperate in exchange of information All aid in the fisheries sector from all institutions will be coordinate under the Fisheries and Marine Service and the need a coordination team. Mr. Said Mustafa will study the draft cooperation proposals by FAO. The Chief of the Fisheries and Marine service will help the assessment Team in doing their job in the areas that’ll be visited. Coordination with MMAF District The consultant conducted coordination visit with the district fisheries offices before conduction assessment of the Tsunami affected areas. Here the consultant obtained information that had already been gathered by the fisheries services. There was very valuable cooperation and assistance from the Fisheries services. Coordination and information gathering was done through telephone meetings with the fisheries district offices and by faxes. In Meulaboh, meetings were conducted at the FAO office with Fisheries staff on a regular basis. The Fisheries district services were very helpful in facilitating, coordinating and organizing meetings with the Pang Lima Laot who represent the fishermen and fishing communities and the BMPT that represent fish farmer groups. Coordination with NGOs Coordination and meetings were also held with NGOs both local and international, which are active in the fisheries sector> these included Cardi, Mercy Corp, YEU, Care, ACTED, etc especially at conducting, and assessment of collecting data in area visited. Below is a schematic of how the assessments and coordination should be coordinated, however there is a great lack of coordination due to the non standardized formats of data gathering, differing interests and expansion of programs. Working groups were formed both in Banda Aceh and in Meulaboh to coordinate activities and share information. 6 Figure 1: Schema co-ordination of data gathering in Area District of Pasca Tsunami in Province NAD BUPATI Workig Group coordination NGO MMAF District SATLAK International Local NGO Team Field Office Assessment Panglima Laot CAMAT /BMPTDistrict MMAF Assessment/ Collecting Coordinations Assessment Panglima Laot BMPT (Group) KEUCIK/ Lhok Aquaculture MUKIM 1.

  • This Keyword List Contains Indian Ocean Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure
    CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Bird Islet - is part of the Addu Atoll, which is in the Indian Ocean. The leading label - OCEAN BASIN - indicates this list is organized according to ocean, sea, and geographic names rather than country place names. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Indian Ocean” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Bird Islet” has a unique identifier of “00S073E0013”. From that we see that Bird Islet is located at 00 degrees south (S) and 073 degrees east (E). It is place number 0013 at that latitude and longitude. (Note: some long lines wrapped, placing the unique identifier on the following line.) This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase.

The index is calculated based on six variables: geomorphology, coastal erosion, slope, changes in sea level, wave height and tidal range. Basically, the emphasis on methodological aspects is related to: (i) the use of GIS techniques to construct, interpolate, filter, and sample data for shoreline networks, (ii) physical vulnerability calculations using the CVI method approach, and (iii) values CVI is applied in vulnerability maps using the GIS program by providing CVI ratings to three levels, namely low, medium, and high. The results of this study indicate that the coastal physical vulnerability of the North East Aceh region is dominated by a moderate level of vulnerability of 83.61% with 51 sub-districts, and then a low vulnerability of 9.84% with 6 sub-districts, and a high vulnerability of 6.56% with 4 sub-districts out of a total of 61 Districts in 10 Regencies / Cities on the North-East coast of Aceh.

The last earthquake which has been occurred near Mentawai archipelago on March 2, 2016 caused panic at the several big cities such as Padang and Meulaboh. Seismic gap in Sumatera subduction zone still has energy to cause tsunamigenic earthquake. Then the west coast of Sumatera Island has been at high risk for tsunami disaster. However, some cities, such as Tapaktuan, were not damaged by 2004 tsunami and others after 2004. These cities locate behind small islands. Therefore many residents believe that the islands will protect the cities against tsunami.

  • Rapid Identification of Tsunamigenic Earthquakes Using GNSS
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Rapid identifcation of tsunamigenic earthquakes using GNSS ionospheric sounding Fabio Manta1,2,4*, Giovanni Occhipinti 3,4, Lujia Feng 1 & Emma M. Hill 1,2 The largest tsunamis are generated by seafoor uplift resulting from rupture of ofshore subduction- zone megathrusts. The rupture of the shallowest part of a megathrust often produces unexpected outsize tsunami relative to their seismic magnitude. These are so called ‘tsunami earthquakes’, which are difcult to identify rapidly using the current tsunami warning systems, even though, they produce some of the deadliest tsunami. We here introduce a new method to evaluate the tsunami risk by measuring ionospheric total electron content (TEC). We examine two Mw 7.8 earthquakes (one is a tsunami earthquake and the other is not) generated in 2010 by the Sunda megathrust, ofshore Sumatra, to demonstrate for the frst time that observations of ionospheric sounding from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can be used to evaluate the tsunamigenic potential of earthquakes as early as 8 min after the mainshock. ‘Tsunami earthquakes’, as originally defned by Kanamori 1, are events generating tsunami with larger amplitude than expected from their seismic magnitude. Most tsunami earthquakes are generated by high levels of slip on the shallow megathrust, which results in large seafoor uplifs and hence very dangerous tsunami. Te shallow location of the slip—close to the subduction trench—means that the ruptures generating tsunami earthquakes are at signifcant distance from land-based monitoring networks, limiting our ability to quickly and accurately assess their magnitude and source parameters. Conventional approaches using various seismological methods2–4 or rapid inversion of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) estimates of ground motion5 regularly encounter difculties in accurately estimating the uplif of the seafoor and consequently fail in predicting the tsunamigenic nature of tsunami earthquakes.

General 1. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1949, the overall Indonesia and Australia ties have been rock-solid and based on the principles of mutual respect, mutual understanding and mutual benefit. It is to be noted that with vast socio-political differences, the two neighboring countries have occasionally encountered a number of ups- and-downs in their relations. 2. The relations between Indonesia and Australia nose-dived when both countries confronted with internal as well as external pressures, which inter alia related to issues of human rights, good governance, democratization, self-determination, and terrorism. The roughest being the period after the popular consultations held in East Timor, which resulted in the separation of East Timor from Indonesia in 1999. Another issue that created formidable hurdles in Indonesia - Australia bilateral ties was the Afghani and Iraqi refugee's crisis, better known as the Tampa crisis. The leaders of the two neighboring countries had also differed on the US-led invasion of Afghanistan following the September 11 terrorist attacks. 3. The current relations between Indonesia and Australia have swung back to its springtime. A strong commitment to put bilateral relations on the right track was shown by the successful outcome of the 5th Meeting of the Australia - Indonesia Ministerial Forum (AIMF) in Canberra on 7 - 8 December 2000, attended by sixteen Australian and Indonesian ministers.
