Description Sporadic nesting activities of olive ridley turtle
(Lepidochelys olivacea) are often reported along the
Chennai coast in northern Tamil Nadu. These turtles
approach the beaches for nesting in the Tamil month
of Panguni and have thus derived the local name
“Panguni aamai”. As in every year, with the onset of
annual nesting season in early 2017, mortality of
turtles along the Chennai coast was recorded. From
02.01.2017 to 07.01.2017, a total of seven adult turtle
carcasses were observed in 20km stretch of beach
between Marina beach and Kanathur Reddykuppam.
