Abstract

Although the major nesting grounds of the olive ridley turtles are in Orissa on the east coast of India, there are sporadic nesting beaches of these turtles along the beaches of Chennai (Madras). There has been a drastic decline in the nesting population due to urbanization, predation of eggs and hatchlings by dogs, crows and poaching by man. It is in this context that TREE initiated its sea turtle conservation programme on the Chennai coast.
