Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Studies on sea turtles in India have mainly focused on the east coast and very little information is available on their occurrence and nesting sites for the west coast. The occurrence of three species of marine turtles viz., hawksbill, green Turtle and Loggerhead has been reported in Maharashtra waters (Daniel 1976). Later Shaikh (1983), Bhaskar (1984) and Das (1985) recorded the presence of olive ridleys. According to Gole (1997), olive ridleys are known to nest all along the coast, while green turtles nest sporadically in Maharashtra. The poaching of the eggs by humans, incidental drowning in the fishing nets and developmental activities are the main threat to marine turtles along this coast.
