Blue Resources Trust Field Station

Our work in Sri Lanka is done in collaboration with our local partner, Blue Resources Trust and focuses on the ecosystems located on the eastern shores of the island, particularly around the Pasikudah area. The objectives of this collaboration are to work collaboratively to support the development of management measures for a marine sanctuary to be declared within the second quarter of 2019.
