Navy extends its support with yet another step in mangrove planting

In a significant step toward environmental conservation, the Sri Lanka Navy on 26 Apr 25 teamed up with the Rotaract Informatics Institute of Technology (RIIT) to plant 1,000 mangrove plants at Urani Lagoon, Pottuvil.

The project aligned with the broader “Clean Sri Lanka” programme aimed at promoting ecological sustainability. Mangroves play a vital role in safeguarding coastal communities from erosion, improving marine habitats, and combating climate change.
