Satellite Tracking Reveals Olive Ridley Turtles Migrate to Sri Lanka Dome Feeding Area

New research using satellite tracking has revealed that Olive Ridley turtles, after nesting along India's eastern coast in Odisha and Tamil Nadu, migrate to the Sri Lanka Dome in the Bay of Bengal. This seasonal ocean phenomenon brings nutrient-rich cold water to the surface, creating a feeding hotspot with abundant plankton and fish. The Sri Lanka Dome attracts various marine species, including turtles replenishing energy post-nesting, and forms annually from May to September before dispersal occurs.
