Description 1061-1067
Present study assessed the area of mangroves
regeneration and rejuvenation status at North and South Andaman,

5 years later to Tsunami occured in 2004. Trees,
Saplings and Seedlings were identified and collected during the traverse in this
transect and enumerated all species of mangrove. GARMIN GPS was used to record
sampling location and data collection points. Regeneration of mangrove trees
after the devastation of tsunami has also been identified using Remote Sensing
techniques and field observations. Submergence and degradation takes place in
the seaward mangroves and the landward or riverine mangroves subsequently.
Present study infers that the tsunami affected Island
environment requires minimum five years for the regeneration of the dead
mangroves after the catastrophic event.
