Arribada : Gahirmatha

Dear Readers,

Sorry for the long silence, I have not posted anything over here for quite a long time,, But let me share with you the wonderful news of Mass nesting at Gahirmatha this year, and this year we have witnessed two arribadas at Gahirmatha ,,,

While Mass nesting occurs in three mass nesting sites in Orissa, namely Gahirmatha, Rushikulya & Devi. A Second wave of Arribada has not been reported from Gahirmatha since the nesting season of 2003 - 2004.

This year Olive Ridleys have nested in two waves of Arribada with an estimated 2 lakh turtles nesting in each of these arribadas.

I will post pictures in this post as soon as I get them..

PS : Since the discovery of Second Arribadas in Gahirmatha has been reported in the nesting seasons of 1982-83, 1983-84, 1984 – 85, 1986 – 87, 1990-1991, 1991-92, 1993 – 94 and 2003 – 2004.

Dear Amlan,

This is indeed good news. And I learned a new word. :) Arribadas are fascinating and I am glad that someone is thinking about development and the environment.

Keep up the good work.
