SRI LANKA Mannar Island: Fishermen oppose the expansion of the wind park.

According to local residents, who had already protested against the initial construction of the project in 2020, the new turbines are going to further remove the fish, on which their livelihoods are based. This phase of the project is run by a company of the Indian tycoon Adani. Experts fear that the consequences will be disastrous even for migratory birds crossing the island.
