Eco-v-Team: "Going to be a Force"
This monsoon forest lies in the basin of Heda Oya, 16 km inland from the coastal town Pottuvil in Eastern Province. The Pottuvil-Monaragala trunk road runs through the south eastern sector of the Park.
Officers of the Lahugala office of the Department of Wildlife Conservation of Sri Lanka warmly welcomed us. They served us a steaming cup of tea and we served them biscuits.

Top selling Mexican beers to be produced in Eastern Sri Lanka
(CORONA is slightly less popular since end 2019)
Corona(Corona Extra) is a brand of pale lager owned and produced by Cerveceria Modelo in Mexico. It is the top-selling beer in Mexico and is one of the top selling beers worldwide.[2] Corona beer is available in over 150 countries. All Corona beer is brewed and bottled in one of 7 Modelo Breweries in Mexico. So far, pre 2019…
Corona Extra. The Mexican top selling beer
Outside of Mexico, Corona is to be slightly renamed and will be produced in a new brewery to be constructed at Arugam Bay. A world famous Surf spot and upcoming tourist resort situated in the deep South East of remote Sri Lanka.
To distinguish the new Sri Lanka Export product from the original Mexican label, and in recognition and celebration of local achievements following the end of the long ongoing conflict in Sri Lanka, the following brand name has been proposed:
Caruna Extra. Export to Asian markets only
For this purpose the Mexican global leaders have teamed up with the award winning, but widely unknown Arugam Bay Surfer’s Beer label under an agreement with the Sri Lanka Government and its Board of Investment Authority.
Cerveceria Modelo’s chairman Senioria Condolenzza Gogonzola stated that the Company has welcomed branching out to new markets in the East. Corona is a traditional Cult Beer favored by young, active people and is popular with modern party people. As world economies are shifting to India, China and Russia it makes no longer sense to ship containers of beer half way around the globe.Continue reading “Cerveceria Modelo to invest in Arugam Bay”
It seems that a new hotel/restaurant is being build on this beautiful coconut estate.

According to local contractors and workers, #01 Stardust owners are branching out to this new location. Other say, an English family are behind this development.
Great spot! Where else on this island could such a fine, unspoiled location be found?
Arugam Bay New Year‘s celebrations were peaceful, quiet and romantic.
However, residents and visitors were shaken by a totally unexpected fireworks display late on New Year’s day.
The fire started in some fishing huts in the middle of the Bay.
The popular “#38 Cafe del Mar” next door was engulfed soon and the blaze looked like Continue reading “New Year’s Blast at Arugambay”

COLOMBO, 16 October 2009 (IRIN) – The seas off Batticaloa in the country’s former war-torn east are home to one of the most fertile spawning grounds off Sri Lanka, and fishermen rarely had to travel far for a good catch.
But of late, traditional fishermen who use boats powered by outboard motors or canoes to fish have complained of meagre harvests.
“I went out on five consecutive days, and only yesterday did I return with some fish, but only 6kg,” said Tamil Chelvam, who operates a boat from Tirivendu beach, just south of Batticaloa.
Locals blame a recent influx of large fishing trawlers into their waters for their dwindling catches. Before the encroachment, a good catch would earn fishermen up to US$174, and a normal catch, about $85. Continue reading “Fishing Trawlers at Arugam Bay & North”
As the Probably first ever (1995)A? Web Site in Sri Lanka Arugam.info begs to differ.
With the Nation’s Tourism Czar Mr. George Michael’s statement below.
Successful advertising campaigns do not have to cost a fortune.
Your Queensland counterparts, we feel, have invested just 1Mill Rs./ VERY well.
Ideas is what counts – and a change of direction.
See sample of a good advert below.
Facebook, Twitter, UTube and whatever: These are further great, very good, new and and even totally free marketing tools.
What can we do to match this coup from down under?
(So are we…….since 2004A? 😉
What is your strategy?
How can we assist?

As usual, fears of another Tsunami surfaced. Some ran away into the opposite direction. Just as they did end of 2004, towards Lahugala. Arugam.info still maintains a highly efficient Early Warning System. Due to our own strong Thai connections we receive very quick and first hand warnings directly from the world’s most advanced centre at Silom Road, Bangkok.
There was not a hint of danger – so our sirens were not activated.
However, we are also informed that a mast (see photo) has recently been erected on the hill overlooking the Bay. It is however not known to us if this system is active and tested so far.
Our own opinion: Clonidine depression treatmentThe next real Tsunami will come! The question is: When?
The ONLY real answer is: Build Tsunami resistant structures. Or construct low level dwellings well away from the sea as indicated by the Government 100 or 200 Meter zone, earlier.
Do NOT reconstruct low level, low quality buildings near the sea front! As this will endanger the life and security of residents and visitors in future.A? For sure.
Sources indicate that our Facebook memberA? Obama Barrak is planning to unwind a few days in remote, peaceful Arugam Bay.
All is Swell in AbaY
This hard working statesman will surely need rest and enjoy our true unspoiled nature.
Following the G20 success on London, the NATO summit in Stressbourg it is time to go Baden – Baden indeed.
The surf season has alreadyA? started, so beginner’s surf lessons for the two girls Sasha and Malia are also scheduled. They will be joining the first couple on their Easter school break at Colombia airport, Karamtunayukie. Courtesy of Paddle4Relief, Taunton, UK.
Obama himself is said to be a keen Kite Surfer and close friend of expert Dillsiri. Arugam Bay is – as well known – a true All-Year Destination. Facebook sources confirm that this is what prompted him to be one of the first fans of the popular and growing “Arugam Surf” social networking site.A? Obama actually signed up and became an insider of AbaY a long time before he became president. A forward thinking man indeed!
On hearing the news, Arugam villagers are exited.
Will he be just on holiday/vacation?
After changing the world – will he be able to bring real changes to the Bay?
Will this wise power house of a man continue to ‘listen’?A? Talk just to the DS?
Or to some locals and and maybe even to the odd, side railed expat? What can we learn from past mistakes? Will he want toA? know how Mercy Corpse and the Whimpy Opera have Fooled the local and US public? Ever since April, 2005?
Will he help Order ditropan 5mgUS to “Focus” forward in his unique style?
How can we bury the past?
Security issues prevent Order etodolac 300mgArugam.info to reveal more details.
But we have been informed that Obama regardsA? the T & S New Year as an excellent opportunity to “Make a Change” . !!One that even Sri Lanka people could believe in!!
Therefore, rumor has it that the two Presidents will have informal discussions at Temple TreesA? – orA? TisteStar during his vacation.
The “Bottom Line” is:
Will the “Tide be turned”?
Will our own, Hon.A? Mr. President allow his US counterpart to visit and gain impressions from thisA? underdeveloped, but fully ‘cleared’ Eastern area ?
Meanwhile, the villagers can only sit back and hope this historic visit not be canceled on security grounds.

The above photo was taken on the road between Lahugala ending up in the middle of Arugam Bay. This road totally avoids PottuVille town and does NOT cross the new so-called “High Tech” USAID bridge as it leads around the east of the lagoon.
(It does NOT cross any rivers either. Further questions the need for a 14Mill$ bridge)
A nice alternative, saving time and much more appealing than the slow transit thru PottuVille.
Above is just ONE example how a very good idea has gone wrong at Arugam Bay. CEGA established a Herbal Garden in the back of AbTa’s new, unmanned office building.
This demonstration plot was useful, well thought of and very well established.
But: So was the idea of Tourist Guides, Trash removals, etc…..
However, perhaps unknown to the kind donors of Bergamo, Italy it appears that the wrong local partners were selected:
For many months now, this project has been neglected and the garden is a wasteland.
Nobody watered the plants, nobody seems to be interested in keeping this good projedct going.
Do not expect to come from any civilized Country and establish ANYTHING in Sri Lanka and then walk away from it!
Like the Tourist Guide project, the rubbish removal system & donated tractor and dozens more:
Nothing will ever work unless a system is left in place to continue the operation.
Sad but true!
What to do?
