Abstract

The Gulf of Mannar Marine Biosphere Reserve, established in 1989, is located in Tamil Nadu on the southeast coast of India between 8º45’N and 9º25’N and 78º05’E and 79º30’E and harbours marine biodiversity of global significance. It is unique and renowned for its coral reef, sea grass and seaweed ecosystems. All five species of sea turtles (green, olive ridley, hawksbill, loggerhead and leatherback turtles) found in Indian waters have been reported along the Tamil Nadu coast. The rich coral reef and sea grass areas in the Gulf of Mannar form a good foraging ground for sea turtles and hence all the five species are reported to frequent this area.
