  • The BarReef Marine Sanctuary (BRMS)
  • The Kayankerni Marine Sanctuary (KMS)

Activities

ACTED and the Green Movement of Sri Lanka will help protect KCF’s ecology via community-led monitoring and response that minimise illegal and harmful activities. Sustainable agricultural practices for farmers, dependent on the KCF’s natural resources for their livelihoods, will also be promoted through improved public-private-civil collaboration.

ACTED, the Blue Resources Trust and the Environmental Foundation Ltd. will work closely with coastal communities to ensure data-driven community management of resources in BRMS and KMS. The project will promote the sustainable growth of fisheries and tourism.
