Olive Ridley Turtles Navigate by Earth's Magnetic Map

Every year, Olive Ridley sea turtles travel thousands of kilometers across the ocean to return to the same beaches in Odisha, India, where they were born.

They use Earth's magnetic fields like a built-in GPS to find their way back.

In 2025, a record 6,98,718 turtles nested at Rusikulya beach.

Scientists track these turtles to learn more about their amazing journeys.

Local communities and the government work together to protect the turtles and their eggs from predators.

This incredible natural event shows how turtles rely on ancient instincts and a delicate balance of nature to survive.
