Open Waters

Asha was a bright student from the very beginning. She was good in all the subjects but what gripped her interest the most was the world of aquatic life. She had always been intrigued by them that is why she decided to do her Ph.D. in marine mammal research. Interestingly, she is the only Sri Lankan to hold Ph.D. in the same subject. Vos came back to her native state with a project. She had planned on conducting a research on blue whales. And to know more about these giant mammals she headed to her own country that itself is rich in aquatic life. It was there she set up Sri Lanka Blue Whale Project in 2008. As the research was on blue whales, she had to go on numerous sea journey to explore more about this great mammal. Everything was well planned according to her.
