Muthurajawela / Negombo Lagoon Boat Ride

Muthurajawela is a marsh in Sri Lanka in the southern region of the Negombo lagoon. The
Muthurajawela Marshes are 3,068 ha (7,580 acres) in area and the country's largest saline
coastal peat bog. The marsh is notable for its unique and highly diverse ecosystem and is listed
as one of 12 priority wetlands in Sri Lanka. "Muthurajawela" translates to "Swamp of Royal
Treasure". The marsh is believed to have originated about 7,000 years ago. In 1996 1,777 ha
(4,390 acres) of the northern part of the Muthurajawela marsh was declared a wetland
sanctuary by the government, under the Flora and Fauna Protection Act, in recognition of its
vast bio-diversity. The region supports 192 distinct species of flora and 209 distinct species of
fauna, including Slender Loris, as well as another 102 species of birds. Some of the identified
species have been shown to be indigenous to the marsh.
