| dc.description | The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai undersea volcano in the Kingdom of Tonga erupted on 15 January 2022 at 17.10 hours local time in a blast that was felt across the world. As a result of the eruption, the Government of Tonga declared a state of emergency on 16 January 2022. The eruption resulted in two events with potential impacts on agriculture livelihoods and all agriculture sub-sectors (crops, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture, and forestry): a volcanic ash cloud and a tsunami. The Ministry of Fisheries (MoF) in Tonga released an initial damage report on 1 February 2022, with a focus on damage to fisheries assets covering small-scale, tuna and snapper vessels, and their engines and gear. The total estimated damage for the fisheries and aquaculture sub-sector was TOP 10.85 million (USD 4.932 million). This report complements the MoF damage report, with an emphasis on associated losses in the fisheries and aquaculture sector as a result of the volcanic ash cloud and tsunami events. | |
