The nerve centre of environmental preservation projects and activities at Gayana is our onsite Marine Ecology Research Centre, or MERC. A programme that is focused on the rehabilitation and restoration of different forms of marine life, MERC is a fully-functional research centre that is run by a team of dedicated marine biologists and professionals. While Gayana is deeply devoted to providing ideal island experiences to our guests, we are also highly invested in preserving nature’s underwater treasures and ensuring that their beauty and uniqueness may be enjoyed by generations to come.
