It is believed that only one out of 1,000 hatchlings that emerge from a nest and reach the sea survives to reach adulthood. With such a high mortality rate, it becomes critical to save every nesting adult turtle. Adult sea turtles falling prey to trawl/mechanised boats has been an issue to address for a long time, and is a sensitive issue which needs to consider fishermen’s livelihood and the conservation of sea turtles.
