Fugro System Monitors Malaysian Coast

01 Jan 2006

The tragic consequences of the tsunami that struck in the Indian Ocean on 26 December 2004 have acted as a major eye opener to countries vulnerable to similar disaster. As a result, urgent efforts are being made to establish early warning systems to reduce or minimise the impact of future tsunamis. Accordingly, Malaysia has taken the initiative to implement a tsunami detection system comprising three buoys and a number of automatic tidal stations.
