The worst is hopefully behind, as the no. of Olive Ridley carcasses beaching in Chennai has dipped a bit & more nests are being found, but this nesting season has been one of the worst for the turtles. Read my ground report, edited by @radhikasan 🗞️ link:
Hundreds of Olive Ridley sea turtle carcasses have been found since the first week of January in the Chennai and Chengalpattu districts. Conservationists say the number of deaths is three times the usual number during the mating season and have sounded alarm bells about bottom trawling, the widespread use of fishing gear, and plastic pollution. @GeethaSrimathi reports on the tragedy along the coastline.
