Bhubaneswar: The annual mass nesting of Olive Ridley turtles has begun at Rushikulya Beach in Odisha, marking a significant event in marine conservation. After a year’s absence, these endangered turtles have returned in large numbers to the Rushikulya river mouth, one of India’s prominent nesting sites.

In recent weeks, forest officials have observed numerous mating pairs approximately 2-3 kilometers offshore, signaling the onset of the nesting season. This resurgence is particularly noteworthy following the turtles’ unexpected absence from this site last year.

The Olive Ridley turtles, known for their synchronized mass nesting called “arribada,” are a vital part of the marine ecosystem. Their return to Rushikulya is a positive indicator of the health of this critical habitat. Conservationists and local authorities are closely monitoring the nesting process to ensure the safety and success of the hatchlings.

However, challenges persist. Recent reports have highlighted the deaths of over 400 Olive Ridley turtles along India’s east coast near Chennai, primarily due to fishing net entanglements. This underscores the ongoing threats these creatures face and the necessity for continued conservation efforts.

The mass nesting at Rushikulya is expected to continue over the coming weeks, drawing attention from researchers, conservationists, and the public. Efforts are underway to protect the nesting sites and minimize human interference, ensuring that this remarkable natural phenomenon can proceed undisturbed.
