It's time to give back to the nature.
Madiha-Polhena reef, second only to Hikkaduwa Sri Lanka, is a beautiful gift by the nature. This was heavily damaged by the 2004 tsunami incident and is slowly recovering ever since.
But due to the rise of tourism, Madiha-Polhena area is facing a new threat, Polythin and plastic garbage. And this would directly effect the growth of the reef and the delicate marine life in the area (polhena beach is a playground for many turtles). We started our business, "Polhena diving center" with the hopes of conserving the marine life as we do believe in conservative tourism.
We've been doing weekly coastal cleanups for more than a year now and we thought of cleaning the reef in the end of southern season would be an awesome thing to do. Currently we are seeking the collaboration of Sri Lanka coast guard and would love to invite all the Scuba enthusiasts and people who love to keep our oceans clean to help us with skills and resources.
If you like to collaborate, even help with your ideas it would be highly appreciated. let us know using our email
(Info@polhenadiving.com) or simply DM.
We are planning to take the whole day of 8th April 2018 for the project. I'll be updating the post as we proceed.
Let's help a reef to grow again!
