Of the five species of marine turtles occurring on the Indian coast, the olive ridley Lepidochelys olivacea is the most common on the Maharashtra coast. The present note is based on the current year’s marine turtle conservation activities. The ‘Marine Turtle Conservation Project’ was initiated by Sahyadri Nisarga Mitra (SNM) on the coast of Maharashtra in 2002-03. Poaching of eggs and adults as well as incidental capture in fishing nets are the main threats to turtles in this area. This year, SNM conducted conservation work and successfully completed this programme in four villages in the district of Ratnagiri, Maharashtra. In the breeding season of 2003-04, SNM coordinated and undertook conservation work on four beaches: Velas, Anjarla, Saldure and Murud, all located in the district of Ratnagiri.
