Abstract
Globally, scientists recognize seven extant species of sea turtles, categorized into six genera across two families. Of these, five species are found along India’s coastline: the Olive Ridley, Green turtle, Hawksbill, Loggerhead, and Leatherback turtle. However, sea turtle populations are rapidly declining due to human-induced threats, including overexploitation, habitat degradation, pollution, vessel strikes, and bycatch in fishing gear.
