“…Indeed, farms of Kappaphycus and Eucheuma are maintained mostly clonally with strict vegetative reproduction of a very few number of selected genotypes (Valero et al, 2017). Most of these types of clonal farms are regularly affected by catastrophic events such as typhoons (in the Philippines: Andriesse & Lee, 2017), earthquakes and tsunamis (in Japan and Chile: Kontar, Santiago‐Fandino, & Takahashi, 2016, present work). This work provides a clear example of the necessity for farmers to maintain adaptive potential in their cultivated populations.…”

Catastrophic events can have profound effects on the demography of a population and consequently on genetic diversity. The dynamics of postcatastrophic recovery and the role of sexual versus asexual reproduction in buffering the effects of massive perturbations remain poorly understood, in part because the opportunity to document genetic diversity before and after such events is rare. Six natural (purely sexual) and seven cultivated (mainly clonal due to farming practices) populations of the red alga Agarophyton chilense were surveyed along the Chilean coast before, in the days after and 2 years after the 8.8 magnitude earthquake in 2010. The genetic diversity of sexual populations appeared sensitive to this massive perturbation, notably through the loss of rare alleles immediately after the earthquake. By 2012, the levels of diversity returned to those observed before the catastrophe, probably due to migration. In contrast, enhanced rates of clonality in cultivated populations conferred a surprising ability to buffer the instantaneous loss of diversity. After the earthquake, farmers increased the already high rate of clonality to maintain the few surviving beds, but most of them collapsed rapidly. Contrasting fates between sexual and clonal populations suggest that betting on strict clonality to sustain production is risky, probably because this extreme strategy hampered adaptation to the brutal environmental perturbation induced by the catastrophe.

“…Wave gauging stations around Taiwan also indicate that there has been no tsunami that has caused any casualties in the last century (Central Weather Bureau, CWB; Chen and Chen, 2011; Kontar et al, 2014) [36][37][38]. Nevertheless, Taiwan is located in the Circum-Pacific seismic zone, and the threat of tsunamis is not negligible.…”

Abstract:In this study, we used the natural and anthropogenic characteristics of a coastal region to generate risk maps showing vulnerability and potential hazards, and proposed design criteria for coastal defense and land use for the various kinds of risks faced. The Yunlin coast, a first-level protection area in mid-west Taiwan, was then used as an example to illustrate the proposed design criteria. The safety of the present coastal defenses and land use of the Yunlin coastal area was assessed, and coastal protection measures for hazard prevention were proposed based on the generated risk map. The results can be informative for future coastal management and the promotion of sustainable development of coastal zones.

“…Fluvic, Brown (Cambisols) and Fulvic Andosols as well as Korosuko (Andosols), Red Yellow and Regosol (Soil Science 2014 ;Yagi 2012 ;Kanno et al 2010 ), the likelihood of pollutants seeping deep into the soil also varies. The possibility of pollutants contaminating Moreover, contaminated groundwater could in turn contaminate coastal waters through submarine ground discharge (SGD) as shown by Slomp and Van Cappellen ( 2004 ), Swarzenski and Gibbons ( 2009 ) and Kontar et al ( 2013 ). Hazardous and toxic substances leached from debris stock piles and treated wood in certain areas or hot spots are likely to have seeped into the ground as well, eventually reaching bottom coastal waters through SGD aside of surface water fl ows.…”

The large destruction of industrial facilities, processing factories and urban areas by the 2011 tsunami along the northeast coast of Tohoku Region (Japan) resulted in extensive contamination in most of the fl ooded areas and coastal waters; an enormous amount of mixed debris and radiation compounded these problems, creating both potential environmental and human health hazards which should be assessed throughout the reconstruction and the restoration process.
