Source: DDPM, 10 June 2005 Report, based on figures reported by MOAC.
As reported, market replacement values were used in the above estimations, which are based
in the number figures provided for in the joint FAO-MOAC report11. Accordingly, the total
amount of damage for the sector was 17.6 million Baht.
c) Fisheries and Aquaculture
The tsunami waves imposed heavy damage to the fishing boat and gear as well as in the
infrastructure of aquaculture located in the Andaman Sea. The production of both sub-sectors
will be correspondingly affected until the assets are replaced.
There are difficulties involved in the estimation of replacement values of the boats and fishing
gear since no comprehensive registries are available. The number of boats and gears used in
the estimation of damages only represents the number of units that the fishermen reported in
order to obtain compensation from their authorities. Since compensation rates are low, some
fishermen did not bother to report their loss of assets, and some large boats went also
unreported because they have private insurance arrangements.
