Olive Ridley Turtles from India Migrate to Biologically Rich Sri Lanka Dome

Endangered Olive Ridley turtles tagged along India's eastern coast, including Tamil Nadu and Odisha, are migrating to the Sri Lanka Dome, a biologically rich marine area formed by seasonal ocean upwelling. This hotspot attracts diverse marine life and serves as a critical feeding ground for turtles during May to September. Satellite tracking and official statements highlight the convergence of multiple turtle populations from distant coastlines at this oceanic zone, underscoring its ecological significance.
