Abstract
The terrible events and human tragedy of the tsunami in the Indian
Ocean on December 26, 2004, brought home to the world the
unpredictable nature of the ocean in relation to affairs of mankind. It was a
timely reminder of the fragility of the coastal zone when faced with the
awesome power of the sea.1 These catastrophic events demonstrate the
importance of planning and management in coastal and ocean regions.
