Abstract

Four species of sea turtles, olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea), green turtle (Chelonia mydas), leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), and hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) nest on the Indian mainland coast and the Andaman and Nicobar group of Islands (Choudhury, 2001). However, little is known about the presence of sea turtles in Indian waters, apart from a few studies in Orissa (e.g. Ram, 2000). The present paper describes at-sea sightings of three species of sea turtles in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman waters during a cruise of the Fishing and Oceanographic Research Vessel Sagar Sampada.
