Abstract

Among the five species of sea turtles distributed in the Indian region, four of them, the olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea), green turtle (Chelonia mydas), leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) and hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) nest on Indian coasts (Kar & Bhaskar, 1982). All these species are distributed in Tamil Nadu and in the coastal waters of Kerala. The Wildlife Institute of India (WII) recently implemented a UNDP–Government of India sea turtle conservation project. This project (2000–01) evaluated the status of marine turtles and their nesting habitats in all maritime states of India, which included an assessment of threats to turtles. Data on important nesting beaches were generated, which form the benchmark for monitoring (Shanker & Choudhury, 2006). Information on the status of marine turtles along the Tamil Nadu coast was generated as a part of this project (Bhupathy & Saravanan, 2002, 2006a; Bhupathy & Karunakaran, 2003).
