On 17 January, the Education Officer of the Lanka Mangrove Museum and Learning Center, with the support of the museum staff and guidance of the Museum Director, conducted an important field research activity at the Chilaw–Pambala mangrove sites. The research focused on the collection of data related to the abundance and density of crab species within the mangrove ecosystem. During the study, systematic field methods were used to observe and record the presence of crabs across selected mangrove areas. This data collection is essential for understanding species distribution, population levels, and the overall health of the mangrove habitat, as crabs play a key role in nutrient cycling and soil aeration within these ecosystems.

On 17 January 2026, a research student visited the Lanka Mangrove Museum and Learning Center to collect field data as part of an academic study focused on mangrove ecosystems in Sri Lanka. The research aims to identify and analyze the differences between mangrove species found in the Negombo and Chilaw areas. During the visit, the student conducted detailed measurements of key physical characteristics of mangrove trees, including leaf length and size, tree height, and trunk diameter. These measurements are essential for understanding how mangroves adapt to different environmental conditions in each location.

During the visit, the student conducted detailed measurements of key physical characteristics of mangrove trees, including leaf length and size, tree height, and trunk diameter. These measurements are essential for understanding how mangroves adapt to different environmental conditions in each location.

The study also seeks to identify the reasons behind these observed differences, examining factors such as salinity levels, soil conditions, water availability, and other ecological influences that affect mangrove growth and structure. By comparing data from Negombo and Chilaw, the research hopes to highlight how local environmental conditions drive specific adaptations in mangrove species.
