probably nothing long lasting, all the man made sewage and chemicals washed into the sea would have done more damage to the environment than anything natural.

Tsunami are a threat to people and property in coastal and low-lying estuarine areas. The waves travel quickly, rapidly flooding and damaging coastal communities, picking up debris as they go. A fast moving wave over 10 metres high can quickly destroy homes and communities. Tsunami also create seiching in harbours and confined estuaries. Tsunami waves can travel inland along river beds as continuous single standing waves. This puts smaller inland communities at risk and contaminates rivers with saltwater. A tsunami can threaten 'lifeline' services such as water, power, telecommunication and transportation networks.

Tsunamis can also have a negative affect on the natural environment, as they cause damage to already fragile coral reefs and mangrove swamps. Coral reefs and mangrove swamps are vital feeding and breeding grounds for fish. Therefore, their destruction could leave coastlines vulnerable to erosion, and local communities without a vital source of food.

Nothing major, they're just Mother Nature's way of flushing a toilet! They're a natural occurrence, therefore nature knows how to deal with them. It's just us that have a hard time with them!
