How are long-lived species monitored? Which turtle species can be found along the Indian coast? What are the various monitoring activities that take place in India? Tune in to watch Dakshin's Field Director Muralidharan in conversation with Oorna Nature Club take a quick look at the population dynamics, monitoring and challenges faced by important sea turtle populations in India. The talk includes the abundant and popular olive ridley turtle species which nests en-masse in Odisha, the rarer but large leatherbacks in the Andamans and the curious case of the green turtles in the islands of Lakshadweep. Murali is the Field Director of Dakshin's Marine Flagships - Biodiversity and Resource Monitoring Programme.
