The most powerful earthquake that hit Japan on 11 March 2011 triggered an extremely destructive tsunami with waves as high as 40 meters and speed of about 800 km/hour, seriously affecting the coastal Prefectures of Miyagi, Iwate and Tohoku, while the waves also traveled up to 10 km inland. In addition to loss of lives and properties, infrastructures especially in the affected coastal areas were also destroyed resulting in loss of livelihoods in fishing communities. Moreover, the tsunami also caused serious nuclear accidents such as the meltdowns of the reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) complex.
