Study Reveals Distinct Movement Patterns of Olive Ridley Turtles in Odisha Waters
A three-year study led by the Wildlife Institute of India and Odisha authorities tracked Olive Ridley turtles using satellite telemetry, revealing distinct movement patterns between males and females. Males migrated offshore earlier, while females stayed nearshore longer during nesting. One female traveled 6,719 km over 271 days to waters east of Sri Lanka. The research highlights extensive marine ranges beyond nesting beaches and aims to identify critical habitats and migration routes for conservation.
