Gaiya's Travel Diary | Weligama Beach Sri Lanka ???????? ( Vlog 03)
???? WELIGAMA BEACH
Weligama (Sinhala: වැලිගම, Tamil: வெலிகாமம்) is a town on the south coast of Sri Lanka, located in Matara District, Southern Province, Sri Lanka, governed by an Urban Council. The name Weligama, literally means sandy village which refers to the area's sandy sweep bay. It is approximately 144 kilometres (89 mi) south of Colombo and is situated at an elevation of 9 metres (30 ft) above the sea level.
01. History
The main industries are tourism and fishing. Weligama is a popular tourist destination and hosts several boutique hotels including an off shore islet known as Taprobane, which houses a villa constructed by the French Count de Mauny, and is currently owned by Geoffrey Dobbs. It was the birthplace of the scholar monk Weligama Sri Sumangala.
Weligama was significantly affected by the tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, with 15% of the area destroyed, with over 2,200 houses damaged or washed away, and 469 reported deaths.[1]
There are a number of sites of historical importance within Weligama and its vicinity, including a 3 metres (9.8 ft) high bas-relief statue of Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, carved into the surrounding rock, between the 6th-9th century AD.[2] It is known locally as Kusta Raja Gala or Rock of the Leper King and is thought to represent a king smitten with a skin disease (prossibly leprosy kusta), who was prompted in a vision to take coconut pulp and water for three months as a cure. When he fulfilled the vision his health was restored, he then commissioned his figure to be carved on the rock commemorating this miraculous cure. This sculpture is believed to be all that is left of the old Agrabodhi Vihara that was located there.[3]
Weligama is recognised for its beeralu lace-making. First introduced by the Portuguese in the 16th century lace-making has remained a traditional handicraft along the coastal area of Weligama, with a number of households producing crochet and tatting lace.[4]
The area is also famous for its distinct stilt fishermen,[5] who erect a single pole in the chest-deep water on the beach, just few meters off-shore, where they perch on a cross bar and using bamboo fishing rods cast their lines out beyond the surf break to catch small fish.
???? KAPPARATHOTA
Kapparathota falls within the District of Matara and is administered by the Southern Provincial Council. The location of the Field Station is on the coast at Weligama Bay and is about 145kms from Colombo on the Colombo-Hambanthota Road.
According to the decentralized policy of the National Aquatic Resources Agency, this centre was established for the south coast. Weligama-Mirissa bay area was identified as the best location for NARA’s Regional Field Station.
Mirissa represents one of the important south coast fishing centre considerable providing fisheries sector contribution from offshore, deep sea fisheries. There are also considerable small scale fisheries operations being carried out, and other fisheries operating within the bay. Substantial mechanized fishing operations are also centred at Mirissa.
It is reported that a significant marine mammal population of whales and dolphins inhabit the waters around this coastal area with special features in continental shelf. The heavily congested south coast international shipping route passes immediately offshore.
NARA is statutorily responsible for maintaining a survey of aquatic resources. Accordingly one of NARA’s major programmes is the survey of the marine fishery. This is conducted through a continuous monitoring of marine fish catches at important coastal landing centres in the island. NARA is working with local fisherman to find new fishing grounds for these species and to develop suitable fishing techniques.
