Marine Environment Protection Authority (MEPA) General Manager Dr. Terney Pradeep Kumara said the remaining 10 percent would also be lost in another 10 years.

“Sri Lankans will lose the luxury of viewing colourful corals 10 years from now if urgent steps are not taken to stop their current rate of destruction,” he said.
