Dalawella is one of the nicest areas on the South coast of Sri Lanka. In today’s video we release baby turtles, visit a dog care center, and drop by the Insta-famous beach swing on Dalawella Beach. Releasing the baby turtles was truly one of the most amazing experiences we’ve had so far. RELEASING THE BABY TURTLES It was a bit hard to film and photograph, seeing as we didn’t want to hold the turtles for more than a few seconds before releasing them (it was more than clear that they just wanted to swiiiim and start their new life ASAP), but fortunately we released enough to get some good shots of them anyway. HOW WE DECIDED WHERE TO RELEASE BABY TURTLES After a lot of (google) research, we decided to visit the Sea Turtle Conservation Project on Koggala Beach close to Dalawella. They work with the Sri Lankan government to save and preserve sea turtles. The baby turtles were rescued when they were eggs and hatched in a safe environment. SEA TURTLE CONSERVATION PROJECT IN KOGGALA The organisation saves both adult turtles and turtle eggs. After the turtles hatch, they swim around for about 5 days to make them stronger […]
This is no ordinary fishing, there might be several methods of catching a fish but this one is mind-boggling. Fishermen in Sri Lanka use stilts to catch a fish. Stilt Fishing is an old tradition practiced by around 500 fishing families in Galle, in southwestern-most Sri Lanka, especially around the towns of Koggala,Kathaluwa, and Ahangama. They usually fish during sunset, noon and sunrise, with each one taking their elevated position and balancing about 2 meters above the water. As you can see in the picture front slider, there is a vertical pole engrafted into the sea bed, attached to it is a cross bar, called petta, on which the fishermen do the balancing act. So with one hand they hold the stilt and the other hand they have a fishing rod or a line to catch spotted herrings and small mackerels, which are then kept in a plastic bag tied around their waist or the pole. So the fishermen of that area don't mind sitting for long hours to get their catch, it seems they don't use a bait either on the hook. Since how long this custom is practiced is not known, Government document which says that according to old fishermen stilt fishing started after the Second World War.
