The occurrence and sporadic nesting of olive ridleys is reported along the entire coast of Maharashtra. The major threats to the marine turtles of Mahrashtra are from poaching of eggs and adults, incidental catch in fishing nets and due to developmental activities along the coast (Giri and Chaturvedi, 2003). The nesting population has been decreasing due to poaching by man & predation of eggs by the jackal (Canis aureus). While on survey for the whitebellied sea eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) in February 2002, we found 35 nests of turtles along 3 km beach of Velas, Mandangad taluka, Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra. All the nests were empty.
