Almost all o <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> brackishwater p<strong>on</strong>d areas were destroyed as well as <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> support<br />

infrastructure such shrimp hatcheries <strong>and</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Regi<strong>on</strong>al centre in Ujung Batee. These<br />

losses c<strong>on</strong>sist <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fish <strong>and</strong> shrimp p<strong>on</strong>d structures, water channels, irrigati<strong>on</strong> canals,<br />

building, housing <strong>and</strong> training facilities, equipment, library collecti<strong>on</strong>s, <strong>and</strong> o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>rs.<br />

Estimate <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> loss based <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> establishment costs <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> facilities <strong>and</strong> structures<br />

destroyed is about US$ 210,835,555, which c<strong>on</strong>sist <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>:<br />

1) Brackishwater p<strong>on</strong>ds in NAD Province = US$ 202,811,782<br />

2) Private Shrimp hatcheries = US$ 6,233,33<br />

3) BBAP, Ujung Batee = US$ 1,790,444<br />

Total = US$ 210,835,555<br />

The number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Tsunami</str<strong>on</strong>g> victims in The Regi<strong>on</strong>al Centre c<strong>on</strong>sists <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 20 people dead<br />

UNOSAT Satellite Images for <strong>Aquaculture</strong> Site in Aceh<br />

Satellite images obtained from UNOSAT provide a comparis<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> before <strong>and</strong> after<br />

tsunami in Aceh <strong>on</strong> aquaculture sites. These aquaculture sites may culture a range <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

marine finfish (milkfish, seabass, mullet etc.) <strong>and</strong> crustaceans (crabs, shrimps, etc.).<br />

The severity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> damages is apparent. Figure 1 shows <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> aquaculture areas have<br />

been totally destroyed. The aquaculture sites in Figure 2 is slightly inl<strong>and</strong> compare to<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> area in Figure 1, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> severity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> damaged is also <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> same.<br />
