The overturned corals cause a hazard to local fishing boats especially during the rough seas of the Monsoon Season, but in a more positive way, they provide a breeding ground or shelter for various species of marine life.
At Rawai Beach, Phuket, Thailand, new coral can be seen growing in places where there was no coral before. Small corals are visible during low water scattered among the debris of broken coral damaged by the tsunami.
