The four species of marine turtles that occur in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are the Leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), the Hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), the Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) and the olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea). Blyth in 1863 in Monat’s paper first reported only three species, the olive ridley, Green and Hawksbill to occur in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. In the late 1970’s and up to early 1980’s, there were several reported of Loggerheads nesting on these islands. However there is absolutely no evidence of this species nesting in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands now.
