Abstract

Nagapattinam district in Tamil Nadu has a coastline of 161 km. Coastal characteristics vary along this stretch. For example, the 40 km coastal stretch from Point Calimere to Voimedu is primarily swampy and there are no sandy beaches. Northwards from Point Calimere up to Kollidam, a distance of 120 km, the stretch is predominantly sandy with a few swampy patches in Thirumullaivasal and Palaiyar. Results of surveys carried out reveal that sporadic nesting of olive ridley turtles occurs in the sandy stretches along this coastline from Point Calimere in the south up to Chennai in the north during the nesting season between December and March. The Government of India through its Ministry of Environment and Forests and the Wetland and Wildlife Management Division funds various olive ridley conservation projects every year along this coast.
