Sri Lanka Marine Protected Area (MPA) Network Mapping 2025

Abstract

The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) worked in collaboration with Environmental Foundation Limited (EFL) to map the existing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and other marine protection mechanisms in Sri Lanka.

To support this, the following resources are available:

  • Inception Meeting Report: A summary report of the initial stakeholder workshop to initiate the project, produced and published in November 2024.
  • OCPP Final Project Report: A project report covering the work completed under the project.
  • OCPP MPA Sri Lanka Mapping & Analysis Report: A focused report identifying the current overlaps in marine protection in Sri Lanka and how these may enhance or complicate marine conservation efforts.
  • GIS Layers: Shapefiles of Sri Lanka's Marine Sanctuaries & National Parks, Fisheries Management Areas and Special Management Areas, accessed and created during the project.

These resources may not be fully accessible for all users. If you need a copy in a different or more accessible format, please contact Communications@jncc.gov.uk.
