Abstract

The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) has worked with the Sri Lankan government’s Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWC) to build expertise and understanding of MPA implementation.

To support this, the following resources are available:

  • Sri Lanka Marine Protected Areas Best Practice Workshop Report: A report summarising the discussions from a workshop organised by the Sri Lankan government’s Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWC) in collaboration with the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP). The two-day training workshop, held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in August 2023, discussed Marine Protected Area (MPA) best practice. The workshop report was published in November 2023.
  • Sri Lanka Marine Protected Areas Best Practice Toolkit: An MPA implementation best practice toolkit, developed following the workshop. The toolkit was published in July 2025 and is available in English, Sinhala and Tamil.
