It was found that tourist arrivals and tourism receipt were lower by around 20 per cent in a year which witnessed terrorist attacks compared to a normal year. Similarly, in the short-run, employment in the industry declined by around 11 per cent following a major terrorist attack on civilian target. The findings suggest that it is high time to enhance the capacities for the security establishments to minimize the risks pose by various terrorist organizations.

  • Preliminary Investigation on Weligama Coconut Leaf Wilt Disease: a New Disease in Southern Sri Lanka
    Preliminary Investigation on Weligama Coconut Leaf Wilt Disease: A New Disease in Southern Sri Lanka H.T.R. Wijesekara*, L. Perera, I.R. Wickramananda, I. Herath, M.K. Meegahakumbura, W.B.S. Fernando and P.H.P.R. de Silva, Coconut Research Institute, Bandirippuwa Estate, Lunuwila 61150. * corresponding author, email: [email protected] ABSTRACT An unusual yellowing of leaflets in coconut palms in the Galle, Hambantota and Matara districts in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka was observed in late 2006. The symptoms associated with affected palms are flattening and downward bending of leaflets, yellowing of lower fronds followed by drying of leaflets starting from the margins. Symptoms resemble that of Kerala wilt disease in India. This condition was first reported from Weligama in Matara district and, hence called the "Weligama Coconut Leaf Wilt Disease" (WCLWD). Analysis of nutrients N, P, K, Ca and Mg in leaflets of affected and healthy palms revealed that, yellowing of leaflets has no relationship with nutrients. DNA extracts of bud leaves subjected to Nested PCR with phytoplasma specific primer pair combinations R16F2n / R16R2 with rU3 / fU5 and R16mF2 /R16R2 with fU5 /rU3 yielded an amplification of 773 base pair product in 3 of 24 palms tested. Sequencing of the PCR product confirmed phytoplasma as the causative agent of WCLWD. The sequence of the WCLWD was compared with the phytoplasma sequences deposited in the NCBI database and WCLWD sequence was found to be 98% similar to sugarcane grassy shoot phytoplasma and sugarcane white leaf phytoplasma. Apart from WCLWD, another fungal disease of coconut leaf rot disease was also observed in the same locations, sometimes in the same palm.

  • An Archaeological Survey of Tsunami Affected Historic Structures in the Municipality of Galle, Sri Lanka
    ICOMOS Sri Lanka Preliminary Survey of Tsunami-affected Monuments and Sites in the Maritime Region of Sri Lanka PART FIVE: An Archaeological Survey of Tsunami Affected Historic Structures in the Municipality of Galle, Sri Lanka Ranjith M. Jayasena & Kim Spijker PGIAR, Colombo, February, 2005 1 An archaeological survey of tsunami affected historic structures in the Municipality of Galle, Sri Lanka Ranjith M. Jayasena & Kim Spijker PGIAR, Colombo, February, 2005 1. Introduction On December 26, 2004 an earthquake off the coast of Sumatra triggered a tsunami. Within a few hours its sea waves hit the coastal regions of several countries in the Indian Ocean area. Sri Lanka’s eastern, south and southwestern coastal areas were severely affected. The devastation and loss of life was unprecedented. On December 29, ICOMOS, Sri Lanka issued a statement in which it expressed its grief, but also looked forward to the coming process of rebuilding. In this process, appropriate cultural heritage management is required to ensure that vital parts of local landscapes, such as familiar buildings, will not be lost forever. 2. Survey of cultural heritage sites To make an assessment of the damaged cultural property in the tsunami-affected areas, seven universities were sent out to carry out a survey in January 2005. On February 2, at an ICOMOS meeting at the Postgraduate Institute of Archaeology (PGIAR) in Colombo it was decided that additional information on the post-tsunami situation in Galle was required. Consequently, on the request of ICOMOS, Sri Lanka and the Urban Development Authority, the authors conducted a photographic survey in the Municipality of Galle, involving the coastal area from Gintota to Unawatuna.
