Swamps-Reservoirs<br />
The biggest swamp forest is in Aceh Singkil and covers 38,141.78 ha. <strong>NAD</strong>’s swamp area<br />
has shrunk rapidly, from 132,988.41 ha in 2002 to only 68,079 ha in 2004. Vegetation<br />
commonly found are Ketepeng (Senna alata), ki kebo (Mimosa pigra), Scirpus spp.,<br />
Spaghnum spp., Hymenachne pseudointerupta.<br />
From the interpretation of satellite images by LAPAN in 2005, it is known that 9,448.5 ha of<br />
swamp were affected by the tsunami. The district with the greatest area of swamp damage<br />
was kabupaten Aceh Jaya (3126.8 ha), and that with the least was kabupaten Aceh Utara<br />
(0.3 ha). Further details are given in Table 5 below.<br />

Sandy beach<br />
There is very little data describing sandy beach conditions in <strong>NAD</strong>. According to Cahyo<br />
Wibisono, I.T. & Suryadiputra, I N.N. (2006), observations and information from the local<br />
community indicate that just before the tsunami the sandy beaches along Aceh’s west<br />
coast supported a variety of vegetation, dominated by Sea pine Casuarina equisetifolia,<br />
Waru Hibiscus tilaceus, Malapari Pongamia pinnata, Ficus septica, Timonus<br />
compressicaulis, Bayur Pterospermum diversifolium, Bintaro Cerbera manghas, Putat<br />
Barringtonia asiatica, and several other coastal species.<br />
