Color blindness affects a significant number of people, although exact proportions vary among groups. In Australia, for example, it occurs in about 8 percent of males and only about 0.4 percent of females. Isolated communities with a restricted gene pool sometimes produce high proportions of color blindness, including the less usual types. Examples include rural Finland, Hungary, and some of the Scottish islands. In the United States, about 7 percent of the male population—or about 10.5 million men—and 0.4 percent of the female population either cannot distinguish red from green, or see red and green differently from how others do (Howard Hughes Medical Institute, 2006). More than 95 percent of all variations in human color vision involve the red and green receptors in male eyes. It is very rare for males or females to be "blind" to the blue end of the spectrum. About 8 percent of males, but only 0.5 percent of females, are color blind in some way or another, whether it is one color, a color combination, or another mutation

    On December 26, 2004, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the Indonesian island of Sumatra, triggering a tsunami that claimed the lives of more than 150,000 people and rendered millions homeless. This was the most destructive tsunami in the recorded history of mankind. The devastating tidal waves had hit several coastal districts of Tamil Nadu and left at least 1,500 people dead. Nagapattinam recorded the maximum number of 788 deaths, followed by Cuddalore (290), Kanyakumari (261) and Chennai (128). It was later revealed that habitations located near or behind the mangrove forests of Pichavaram and Muthupet had suffered fewer human casualties and less damage compared to areas without mangrove cover. Similar situation was observed in habitations having coastal shelterbelt plantations and tall sand dunes. Studies conducted in the Cuddalore district later confirmed the fact that mangroves indeed offer the best protection against coastal disasters such as tsunami and cyclones. Dense mangrove forests growing along the coasts can reduce the devastating impact of tsunamis and coastal storms by absorbing some of the…
