Sea turtles play an important role in maintaining the balance of the food web in the marine ecosystem. It is
reported that the unintentional capture of turtles in shrimp trawls is the most important factor leading to the mortality of sea turtles. Globally, several conservation measures are in place for conserving populations
of the iconic sea turtles. This includes India where several identified turtle nesting sites are protected through
appropriate restrictions on fishing and other anthropogenic activities. The history of conservation of sea turtles
in India and recent linking use of Turtle Excluder Device (TED) in shrimp trawls to shrimp imports by the USA,
is discussed.
