Effects of the TsunamiThe International Marine Project Activities Centre (IMPAC) coordinated the sending of an Australian mission to assist the Government of Thailand with advice on rehabilitation of coastal resources following the tsunami. The mission was organised by AusAID, Australia’s international aid agency, and visited Thailand in February. The team was led by Australian Institute of Marine Science scientist Dr Clive Wilkinson, who coordinates the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network and IMPAC. Also in the team were Ms Sheriden Morris of CSIRO, who is the CRC Reef Program Leader for Healthy Country Healthy Reef Program, and Mr John Baldwin, who coordinates international activities at the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. The mission has proposed a series of interventions to assist the Thai Government in restructuring coastal zone management over the next 18 months, to be coordinated through CRC Reef. |
