ABOUT PIGEON ISLAND TRIP
Pigeon Island
National Park is
one of the two marine national parks of Sri Lanka. The national park is situated 1 km off the
coast of Nilaveli, a coastal town in Eastern Province, encompassing a total area of 471.429 hectares.
The island's name derives from the rock pigeon which has
colonized it. The national park contains some of the best remaining coral reefs of Sri
Lanka.[1] Pigeon
Island was designated as a sanctuary in 1963. In 2003 it was redesignated as a national park. This national park is the 17th in Sri Lanka. The
island was used as a shooting range during the colonial era.[2] Pigeon
Island is one of the several protected areas affected by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004
