Abstract

Coastal gillnet fishing and other fisheries conducted from a multitude of smaller vessels are of increasing concern on the Indian coast. These fisheries practices can collectively have a very great impact on local sea turtle populations especially the olive ridley turtle. Turtles get entangled in gillnets, pound nets, and other fishing gear. Turtles entangled in these types of fishing gear may drown and often suffer serious injuries to their flippers from constriction by the lines or ropes. Trawls that are not fitted with Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) do not allow turtles to escape, which may result in mortality through drowning.
