For everyone who likes the beauty and unspoilt nature of Mawella Beach where everyone can swim and walk, fish on the beach....

There are plans to start building a large jetty in early December 2020 on the beach plus two breakwaters.

Many of us are concerned that the impact of this jetty and building work on the environment and how everyone uses the beach has not been fully considered.

There was no public consultation on this work. People who have invested time, energy, love and money to developing tourism along the beach are now thinking twice about their commitment to building this part of the local economy, which provides jobs and brings tourists to southern Sri Lanka.

If you agree this work should be stopped and Mawella beach preserved as an outstanding place of natural beauty and are based in or around Mawella, please talk to anyone you can to STOP this environmental vandalism going ahead. THANK YOU

For everyone who loves Mawella beach, we want to tell you that there are plans to start building a 280 metre long jetty and two breakwaters on the beach. We are concerned that this will ruin the natural beauty of the beach and make it a less attractive place for everyone to use for walking, swimming safely, being with family, etc etc. We are also worried that there was no consultation about these plans and their likely impact on the environment and the overall beauty of the beach. Building is planned to start in early December 2020. See the photo for where the building work will be.

We also think this will have a big impact on the levels of tourism on Mawella beach as many of the people who have spent a lot of time, love and money creating places to stay on the beach will think twice about further investment and employment.

If you are in Mawella and around and you think this is a bad idea; please talk to anyone you know to spread the word and see if we can put pressure on to halt the work.

Thank you!
