International Journal of Earth and Atmospheric Science, December 2015, Vol. 2, Issue 4, pp. 149-159:

This paper consists of identifying and mapping of the present density of mangroves in the Kachchh coast line in India. Run-up elevation maps prepared using Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data, showing the possible area of inundation due to various wave heights along different parts of the Gujarat Coast are also presented in this paper. Protection measures against inundation due to tsunami can be planned based on the results obtained.

After 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, tsunami data has emerged from field studies in several affected countries indicating that mangrove forests have played a critical role in saving human being lives and property.
