Olive ridley turtles nest en masse at several beaches in Orissa, mainly Gahirmatha, Rushikulya and Devi River Mouth (Bustard, 1976; Shanker et al., 2003). As much as fishery related mortality has hogged the headlines on turtle conservation, it is far from being the only threat, and conservationists have had to deal with a variety of other problems, particularly development (Pandav, 2000; Sekhsaria, 2004a, b; Shanker et al., 2003, Shanker & Kutty, 2004). Starting with a missile testing range, followed by fishing ports, ridleys in Gahirmatha have been threatened by development since the 1970s and 1980s (Das, 1986; Das, 1997). There have been several appeals and articles published in the Marine Turtle Newsletter (Mrosovsky, 1983a b), several letters written to various authorities, and resolutions passed during this time (Anon., 2000).
