Abstract

Orissa has three mass nesting sites for olive ridley turtles. One of them is located at Kantiagada beach at the mouth of the Rushikulya River in south Orissa. The site is close to a national highway and is now quite well known and receives hundreds of visitors during turtle mass nesting and hatching. Previously unknown to the outside world, the Rushikulya nesting site was discovered in 1994 by Bivash Pandav, Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, while conducting a survey of olive ridleys on the Orissa coast.
