Flourishing underwater garden of Colombo Port City reflects China's green footprint in Sri Lanka
Since 2024, Colombo Port City has collaborated with Chinese and Sri Lankan research institutions to further enhance the underwater garden, including adding 68 coral nursery groups, cultivating over 5,000 coral plants, and organizing open days and marine conservation volunteer activities to continuously enhance the research and conservation efforts for coral ecosystems in Sri Lanka.
It has been a decade since construction began on Colombo Port City, which is now evolving into a vibrant new town. The development spans an area about the size of 377 standard soccer fields reclaimed from the sea, featuring landmarks such as the marina, pedestrian pathways, and the marina footbridge, which have all become popular entertainment destinations for the people of Colombo.
