Abstract

Maharashtra state, on the west coast of India, has a coastline of 720 km. Five coastal districts namely Sindhudurg, Ratnagiri, Raigad, Thane and the urban area of Mumbai share the coastline of Maharashtra. Of the five species of marine turtles occurring on the Indian coast, all except the loggerhead sea turtle have been reported from the coast of Maharashtra. Of these, the olive ridley alone nests sporadically along the entire coast (Giri, 2001).
