Detail InformationEdit
Morjim beach is a natural choice for Olive Ridley turtles for breeding. The hatchings can be spotted easily during the nesting season, which lasts from November to March. It is an unusual sight to see the tiny hatchings make their way from their nests to the sea. Local authorities, however, want to avoid a stampede of tourists and visitors which could affect the turtles’ breeding.
HistoryEdit
Morjim Beach is a nesting and hatching habitat of the Olive ridley sea turtle, an endangered species. They are afforded the highest degree of protection under Indian law through their inclusion in Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972. Poaching eggs or in any manner disturbing the turtles or their habitat is an offence punishable under Indian law.
