Odisha Reinitiates Olive Turtle Tagging for Migration Study

Scientists in Odisha, India, are putting special tags on Olive Ridley sea turtles to learn about their travels.

These turtles come in large numbers to Odisha's beaches to lay eggs.

The tags help track where they go and how they move.

This information is important to protect the turtles and their homes from dangers like fishing nets and pollution.

The study started again in December 2024, and nine turtles were tagged.

One turtle traveled far to the waters near Sri Lanka, while another stayed close to the beaches.

This helps scientists make better rules to keep the turtles safe.
