🌿 Strengthening my understanding of coastal ecosystem conservation through continuous learning.
I had the opportunity to participate in Session 02 of the webinar series organized by the Lanka Mangrove Museum and Learning Center in conjunction with International Mangrove Conservation Day 2026.
Evolutionary History of Migration of Mangroves and Seagrasses from Land to Sea and Their Fate in Future
The session featured an accomplished panel of experts:
• Prof. Mala Amarasinghe – Professor Emeritus, University of Kelaniya
• Mr. Douglas Thesera – Director, Lanka Mangrove Museum and Learning Center
The discussion explored the evolutionary history of mangroves and seagrasses, their ecological functions, and the conservation challenges they face in the context of climate change and sustainable coastal management. It reinforced the importance of evidence-based environmental conservation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
I extend my appreciation to the organizers and speakers for delivering such an informative and engaging session. Participating in knowledge-sharing initiatives like this continues to broaden my perspective on sustainability and environmental stewardship.
