  • Anthropogenic Impacts on Urban Coastal Lagoons in the Western and North-Western Coastal Zones of Sri Lanka
    1 2 Anthropogenic Impacts on Urban Coastal Lagoons in the Western and North-western Coastal Zones of Sri Lanka Jinadasa Katupotha Department of Geography, University of Sri Jayewardenepura Gangodawila, Nugegoda 10250, Sri Lanka [email protected] Abstract Six lagoons from Negombo to Puttalam, along the Western and North Western coast of Sri Lanka, show signs of some change due to urbanization-related anthropological activities. Identified activities have direct implications on morphological features of lagoons, elimination of wetlands (mangrove swamps and marshy lands) and pasture lands, land degradation due to encroachment for shrimp farms, shrinking of lagoons, and production of higher nutrient and heavy metal loads, decline in bird and fish populations and degradation of the scenic beauty. As a result, the lagoon ecosystems have suffered to such a degree that numerous faunal and floral species have disappeared or have diminished considerably over the last few years. All these anthropogenic impacts were identified by the author during 1992, 2002, and 2006 as well as in a study on “Lagoons in Sri Lanka” conducted by IWMI between 2011 and 2012. Key words: Anthropogenic Impacts, Urban Coastal Lagoons, Garbage accumulation, Awareness program Introduction The island of Sri Lanka has 82 coastal lagoons that support a variety of plants and animals, and the economy [1]. Anthropogenic impacts, particularly lagoon fishing, human occupation of the land and water contamination have considerably reduced the faunal and floral population to a point that some of them are in danger of extinction. Such danger of extinction has been accelerated in urban lagoons of the western and northwestern coastal zones, e.g.

  • Status, Diversity and Conservation of the Mangrove Forests of Sri Lanka
    J. South Asian nat. Hist., ISSN 1022-0828. January, 1998. Vol.3, No. 1, pp. 79-102, 2 figs., 9 tabs. © Wildlife Heritage Trust of Sri Lanka, 95 Cotta Road, Colombo 8, Sri Lanka. Status, diversity and conservation of the mangrove forests of Sri Lanka Mangala de Silva" and Padma K. de Silva* Abstract In Sri Lanka, mangrove forests are found scattered mainly along the north-western, north­ eastern and eastern coasts bordering lagoons and river estuaries. The area covered by the mangrove forests today is estimated as only 87 km2 (Legg & Jewell, 1995). Most of the mangrove forest areas have been subjected to human interference for a long time, and undisturbed mangrove forests are seldom found. In most areas, the mangrove forests are usually restricted to a narrow strip, sometimes only a few trees deep. The largest mangrove forest, which is in the Kala Oya estuary, is not more than 0.5 km deep and extends upstream about 2 km from the river mouth. The low level of tidal fluctuations is mainly responsible for the narrowness of the mangrove forests as only a small area comes under the tidal influence. A clear zonation is not seen in most localities because of the narrowness of the mangrove forest and the human interference. Two major kinds of mangrove forests, namely, low-saline and high-saline, could be distinguished by the floristic composition; three other specialised high saline types, scrub, overwash, and basin, are also sometimes distinguished depending on the flooding characteristics and topography. Twenty three true mangrove species of trees and shrubs have been recorded in Sri Lanka, the common species being Rhizophora mucronata, Avicennia marina, Excoecaria agallocha, Acanthus ilicifolius, Lumnitzera racemosa, Sonneratia caseolaris, Bruguiera gymnorhiza and Aegiceras corniculatum.
