Description A study was carried out to explore the status of threatening olive ridley turtle nesting ground and turtle
populations in the Kolavipalam area which covers Tikkoti (110
29’38.634’’ N and 750
36’54.316’’ E) to
Kottapuzha estuary (110
34’12.151’’ N and 750
35’26.754’’ E) of about 8 km, Kozhikode, Kerala, India during
the year 1998-99 to 2015-16. Despite the sporadic nature of sea turtles, every individual of olive ridley sea
turtle nests were monitored by Theeram volunteers in Kolavipalam region, North Kerala, India from the
the last two decades. From that a total of 410 olive ridley sea turtle nests have been recorded. The maximum
number of sea turtles nests of 65 nos. has been recorded during the year 1999-2000 and 2000-2001
continuously. The maximum and minimum percentage of hatchlings of 89.29%, 33% observed from the
year 2002-03 and 2014-15 respectively. This study will provide the baseline data on medium term status of
olive ridley turtles and their nesting populations in Kolavipalam beach, Kozhikode, India.
