💨 Abstract

Over 1,000 Olive Ridley turtles have died along Chennai's seashores, with similar deaths reported in Andhra Pradesh. Mass deaths are linked to illegal trawling within the prohibited 5 nautical miles, which blocks the turtles' nesting routes. The Tamil Nadu government has warned fishermen of subsidy cuts and increased patrolling to address the issue.
