 Brief of the project
• According to our CSR project, Mangrove plantation in Bope West ,Galle area, first we found out the area which we are
going to plant hasn’t a proper way to release the garbage. And we saw a lot of non-perishable materials like plastic,
glass and fuel, fishing equipment which are released by the visitors and fishermen. Because of that villagers and other
people who are visiting Bope West have faced a tragic situation. And fishing is the livelihood of other communities
living around the Bope West area. This is now threatened by degradation of the rich mangroves stand bordering the
village caused by population growth, economic development and a general lack of environmental awareness.
• So, we are planning to do a CSR project which is planting Mangroves. So, we have to mention here, Multilac paints
company is our main sponsor while we hope to conduct a fund raising progrmme by selling face masks. First, we focus
on planting mangrove plants to reduce beach soil erosion. Importance of mangrove planting is they are the buffer zone
between the land and sea, mangroves protect the soil from erosion, they play an invaluable role as natures’ shield against
cyclones, ecological disasters and as protector of shorelines, mangroves are a breeding and nursery grounds for a variety
of marine animals. So, we hope to plants 100 mangroves propagules on the lagoon and fencing of the plot.
Objectives -: • To enhance awareness of the value of mangroves.
• To demonstrate approaches to successful mangrove restoration.
• To prevent further destruction of mangroves which will further expand ecosystem benefits to the
communities.
• To showcase the model created through the project and Make this an example to encourage towards
conservation initiatives.
• To reduce the amount of litter on the surrounding aquatic habitat.
 We envision healthy mangroves in which humanity is
forever committed to caring for and appreciating our blue
planet, our global biodiversity, for the long – term benefit
of people and all life on earth.

 To drive positive change towards clean mangroves that

support all marine wildlife and sustainable living.
 Justification for need

• Mangroves are some of the most important ecosystem on Earth because mangroves store more carbon than
terrestrial forests.
• Mangroves help fight climate change.
• Mangrove forests, they anchor and protect coastal ecosystems, and make up a transitional zone between land
and ocean, connecting and supporting both.
• Mangrove forests are essential nursery grounds for all kinds of marine life including fish, rays, and
invertebrates.
 Proposed geographical
execution
• The entire area consists of private lands used mainly
for residential and agricultural purposes. However,
the vegetation along the canal is protected by the
owners to prevent erosion of their lands into the
canal. As, a result the canal has now become a tourist
attraction in Galle.

• Many mangrove associate trees and other riverine

flora are commonly found along both banks of the
lake and the canal. These trees and plants provide
habitat for many species of fauna.

Result
Main Anticipated
Result
1. Emergence of a nursery of 30 M X 40 M continuously
producing at least 15 mangrove species of at least 30,000
seedlings / year.
2.  Degraded mangrove area of 4 hectares being rehabilitated
and maintained properly.

Note:  At least 50 women would benefit from the project. This
includes marginal population in several villages in project
location. As to youth group, students from 2 community
schools would benefit in term of education through activity
participation, since some facilities of the project are
