Upon arrival, the group was warmly welcomed by the museum’s educational staff, who guided them through a series of well-curated exhibits showcasing the diversity, ecological value, and challenges faced by mangrove ecosystems in Sri Lanka.

Students learned about the unique adaptations of mangrove species, their critical role in protecting shorelines from erosion and storm surges, and their function as breeding grounds for various aquatic life.
