On 28th February 2026, an undergraduate student from the University of Moratuwa visited the Lanka Mangrove Museum and Learning Center to conduct research on producing natural dye from mangrove species.

During the visit, the student explored the mangrove ecosystem and gathered information related to the traditional and potential uses of mangrove plants for natural dye production. The research aims to understand the properties of mangrove species that can be used in environmentally friendly dye-making processes.

The visit provided a valuable opportunity to connect academic research with the practical knowledge and resources available at the museum while highlighting the sustainable uses of mangrove biodiversity. 🌿
