The Andaman and Nicobar Islands with their
numerous uninhabited islands and undisturbed sea
shores offer ideal conditions for the nesting oi sea turtles.
However, many areas which were formerly frequented
by the turtles for nesting have been abandoned due to
increased human activities. Habitat destruction, removal of eggs and killing of the nesting females by the
people have already caused some damage to the sea
turtle resourcesw of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Davis and Altevogt (1976), Whitaker (1977) and
Bhaskar (1979) studied the marine turtles of Andaman
Islands. Bhaskar (1979) reported on the nests of eggs
and hatchlings of Chelonia mydas, Lepidochelys oHvacea
and Dermochelys coriacea.
