It's not all that "pristine waters, palm trees, fresh sea food" in Sri Lanka.
Fishing along the southern coast of Sri Lanka - +Lonely Planet
The Indian Ocean suffers from overfishing every year due to the large fishing companies - mostly Indian - that are reducing the numbers of the various marine animals and their natural habitat.
Not only the marine life is in danger here, but also the little fishing villages along the coast. Their survival depends on the fish they can catch and sell.
The beautiful nature of Dickwella and the human respect towards it. - @lonelyplanet
Dickwella is a small town in South Sri Lanka know for the blow hole and the beautiful seascapes. As a big environmentalist it saddens me to see the neglectful human behavior of those locals that don't appreciate their environment and what Mother Nature gave them.
Note: Rubber materials, in this case rubber tractor tires, need 50-80 years to decompose in the environment!
The beautiful and dangerous FactoryScape
Once a fishermen's paradise and a beautiful beach, now an industrial wasteland. This polluted bay near the town of Trincomalee was once rich with marine life. Today, due to the industrial waste that is polluting the water, the sea animals have left their habitat or died of the poisonous materials.
The real Trinco beach
Waste water is fighting it's way trough the golden sandy beach of Trincomalee to the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean threatening the marine life.
