About the book:
This book adds to the existing knowledge on the over 100 offshore small islands around the mainland of Sri Lanka, varying in size from the largest Mannar Island to the smallest Sinigama and
Werallaiya. The articles raise many questions of legal, historical, geographical and environmental
import especially in the contemporary era of rising concerns over global climate change which will
have direct impact on small islands through the warming of oceans and sea level rise affecting
coastlines. The book also looks at inland islands teeming with biodiversity, found in lagoons and
rivers.
