The tsunami of December 26, 2006 devastated the lives and businesses of tens of thousands of people in southern Thailand. In its wake, over 5,000 people were killed, nearly 3,000 were missing and almost 9,000 were injured. Fishermen, especially those using small "long-tail" boats in near-coastal waters, were particularly hard hit. In addition to the fishermen killed by the waves, thousands of boats, nets and fish traps were destroyed along with docks and cold storage facilities.
As part of K.I.Asia's Tsunami Recovery Action Initiative (TRAI) the institute is assisting affected small-boat fishermen to recover from the disaster. The initiative is receiving generous funding from the Bush-Clinton Tsunami Relief Fund and the Kenan Charitable Trust.
The Bush-Clinton Tsunami Relief Fund has donated US$200,000 to design and build the "Long-Tail Fishing Boat Repair Center and Pier Project" ("PIER Project"). This is a community development initiative focused on assisting the local Phang-nga fishing community of Tablamu Port in Lam Kaen Sub-district.
The PIER project consists of developmental planning, design, and construction of the long tail fishing boat repair center and establishment of the Lam Kaen Fisher Folk Group to develop, manage and maintain the facilities. The project is designed to be replicable in other locations through sharing information and lessons-learned.
Mr. Anucha Mokkhawes, Director-General for the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, first recommended the concept which was enthusiastically received by local fishermen who added their own ideas to the project development. It has also received strong support from the Governor of Phang-nga Province and officials from the governor's office down to the local Tambon or sub-district level.
In late 2007, an additional grant of US$64,000 was provided by the Bush-Clinton Tsunami Relief Fund in order to provide for a training/meeting facility and to provide training to the fisherman to manage the facility and fish in a sustainable manner
