Students from the Open University of Sri Lanka, accompanied by Dr. Kalinga Padmalal and Dr. Gihan Dahanayeka, visited the Lanka Mangrove Museum and Learning Center as part of their field visit program.

During their visit, the students explored the museum’s exhibits and gained valuable insights into the ecological importance of mangrove ecosystems. The museum’s educational team guided them through various sections, explaining the conservation efforts, biodiversity, and sustainable practices related to mangrove management.

This visit provided the students with a practical understanding of mangrove ecology, complementing their academic learning. Engaging discussions were held on topics such as carbon sequestration, mangrove restoration, and community involvement in environmental protection.

The Lanka Mangrove Museum and Learning Center continues to serve as a vital hub for environmental education and research, inspiring future scientists and environmentalists to contribute to the conservation of Sri Lanka’s mangrove habitats.
