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.
