In this paper it has been observed that, multiple nesting by individual turtles and recapture of tagged turtles confirmed beach fidelity in Olive Ridley Turtles. The inter-nesting intervals ranged from 20-25 days and remigration intervals varied between 1-8 yr. There was an inter-seasonal shift in movement of Olive Ridley Turtles from Rushikulya rookery. It is possible that beach exchange is part of a complex phenomenon that Olive Ridley Turtles use to colonize new areas or even move to another beach altogether.
