Sri Lanka whale watching must develop responsibly
Nov 3rd
The Sri Lanka Travel Blog has been struck by an enthralling piece about whale watching in Sri Lanka that we have spotted on the Lanka Business report Website.
Whale watching was first mooted back in the 1980s when according to the report whales began to enter Trinco harbour, one of the great natural harbours of the world, using an old submarine canyon. But plans to turn Trinco into one of the world’s great whale-watching destinations were shelved because of security restrictions during Sri Lanka’s separatist conflict.
The end of that civil war has seen controls eased on Sri Lanka’s east coast and Chaaya Blue has begun to operate whale-watching tours during part of the year.
