Sri Lanka's Commercial Bank said it is helping wildlife authorities replant coral in a marine park in the South West of the island which has been damaged over the last 15 years.

Sri Lanka's Department of Wildlife plans to replant 1,000 square feet of coral in Wadduwa which is part of the Hikkaduwa Marine National Park using techniques developed in the Philippines.

Jegan Durairatnam, commercial bank's chief operating officer said in a statement that replanting will help restore the beauty of the Hikkaduwa coral reef which is a major tourist attraction.
