  • I. Sea Turtle Conservation in 2020 VSPCA Has Entered Its 24Th Year Of
    1 Ó VSPCA I. Sea Turtle Conservation in 2020 VSPCA has entered its 24th year of protection and conservation of the Olive ridley sea turtle via its Community-Based Protection Program, which covers Visakha Coastal Urban Beach - a length/distance of 60 kms along Andhra Pradesh’s shoreline. This proJect erects 5 hatcheries along these beaches safeguarding sea turtle habitat: Muthayalapalem Beach to R. K. Beach; from Jodugullupalem to Uppada and then covering the Peddanagayapalem Beaches. What started in 1996 as an observation is now a program attracting conservationists and NGOs world-wide to it. The sea turtle conservation team has become known for their empathy, originality, compassion and commitment to the program. VSPCA’s Founder, Pradeep Kumar Nath scoured magazines like the National Geographic and scientific papers to comprehend this endangered species of turtle. He observed the very difficult conditions under which mother sea turtles make their way onto Visakhapatnam’s beaches to nest. They face peril and death from many types of predators and obstacles (human, non-human and nonliving): from the fisherfolk poaching turtles, to the eagles & crabs hovering for fresh kill, and beach dogs digging up the newly-laid eggs; from the fishing boat nets to industrialized trawlers destroying sea turtles as by-catch; from oil leaks, sand-mining, pollution, soot, dangerous articles and chemicals on beaches. Yet Olive ridleys are instinctually guided to these beaches! Thus began, what is now a 24-year journey from quest to learn about this species and its role in our coastline, to -> profoundly serious protectionary work to save and conserve the Endangered Olive ridley! Annually, these resilient beings make these beaches their significant-sporadic nesting grounds: with particular reference to the eastern Naval Coastal Battery, all the way to the VUDA beach.
