| Abstract/Description: | The occurrence of olive ridley turtles is rare along this shore. As the news of the landing of the green turtle spread, local people flocked to the beach to have a glimpse as they venerate the turtle as an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The fishermen in Dabholi-Waingani and nearby villages are aware that turtles are endangered and hence they actively take part in conservation of turtles. Moreover religious importance goes a long way in the implementation of conservational measures of turtles in India. The turtle was therefore released soon to the sea by the fishermen in the presence of forest department personnel. |
