Odisha forest officials arrested 10 marine fishermen from Andhra Pradesh's Vizianagaram district for allegedly fishing illegally in the Gahirmatha marine sanctuary's turtle congregation zone. Their fishing equipment and two vessels were seized, and they were remanded to judicial custody. This action is part of ongoing efforts to protect endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles, with 367 fishermen arrested and vessels seized since a fishing ban began November 1. The sanctuary prohibits fishing year-round to ensure turtle safety.
