The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) worked alongside the Sri Lankan navy on an environmental project in the south this week, reports official military media.
The project, termed the “first ever Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Project for Sri Lanka”, was started in July 2016 and saw the USACE provide “technical assistance and training to Sri Lankan field work teams”.

An ESI map from Colombo to Negombo was plotted during the project and “handed over to the Sri Lankan stakeholders in Colombo”.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
