They are an invaluable source of information to maritime archaeologists because they contain historical information about seafaring, warfare, and life during the period of the sinking. Sri Lanka has the largest concentration of shipwrecks, including wrecks from two World Wars, and over the years, a booming dive tourism industry has developed around these shipwrecks. From a marine ecology perspective, shipwrecks are of immense value as they become artificial reefs providing a substrate for various sedentary invertebrates to settle on and proliferate and shelter for shoals of fish that take refuge in the sunken structures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-56108 lazyloaded\" src=\"http:\/\/island.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SI-P07-16-01-P-DMP-7.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/island.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SI-P07-16-01-P-DMP-7.jpg 650w, http:\/\/island.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SI-P07-16-01-P-DMP-7-300x199.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"432\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/island.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SI-P07-16-01-P-DMP-7.jpg 650w, http:\/\/island.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SI-P07-16-01-P-DMP-7-300x199.jpg 300w\" data-src=\"http:\/\/island.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SI-P07-16-01-P-DMP-7.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Wildlife and Nature Protection Society is mandated to preserve and protect the country\u2019s wildlife and nature, including marine habitats and their inhabitants.
