Olive Ridleys Enter Seaside Villages

Kendrapada: Disoriented by lights and lack of space on the beach, many Olive Ridley sea turtles made their way into seaside villages near Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary and Rushikulya river mouth to lay eggs. When some failed to find their way back into the sea, villagers helped them return.

Turtles usually head into the sea immediately after nesting.



Around 120 turtles laid eggs in Barahapur, Kanhupur and Pentha villages near Gahirmatha, the world's largest rookery of Olive Ridleys on Friday and Saturday nights.
