Sustainability Challenges in Sea Cucumber Farming
Sea cucumber farming in Northern Sri Lanka plays a vital role in livelihood development and export earnings. However, this growing industry also faces sustainability concerns including resource user conflicts, environmental challenges, lack of reliable juvenile supply, and weaknesses in nursery facilities.
Prof. Chamari Dissanayake and Madavi Jayasekara from the Department of Zoology, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, emphasize the importance of eco-friendly strategies, proper management, and research-based approaches to ensure long-term sustainability of this valuable marine resource.
These sustainable practices are expected to strengthen Sri Lanka’s blue economy while protecting marine ecosystems for future generations.
