Table 1 – IUCN Species and Red List

Figure 1 – Location of 9.0 Magnitude earthquake and aftershocks (NASA - EQ).

Figure 2 – Map of tsunami wave amplitude. Phang-Nga experienced a wave amplitude of 70cm (NOAA)

Figure 3 – Map of tsunami wave height and time traveled. Phang-Nga experienced a wave height of 4 to 17 meters within 90 minutes (UNEP)

Figure 4 – Map of Thailand, demonstrating that Phang-Nga was the hardest hit province in Thailand with 5,990 people dead or missing. This map shows the tsunami's destruction in relation to the location of the mangroves of Phang-Nga (UNEP)
Figure 5 – IUCN Red List map showing the areas where the Phoenix paludosa is native and can be found, with Phang-Nga as one of those areas (IUCN)

Figure 6 – Rhizophora apiculata (Rowland)

Figure 7 – Nypa fruticans (Rowland)

Figure 9 – Demonstrating the flatness and vulnerability of Koh Prathong and the surrounding areas to tsunami damage (GLCF)

Figure 10 – This relatively flat area was vulnerable to structure and vegetation damage for some miles inland from the coast; the red color shows vegetation, the gray color shows barren ground (NASA - Khao Lak)
