The Olive Ridley sea turtles land on the shores of Chennai beach between December and March to lay their eggs.
During this season, Madras Crocodile Bank Trust organises Turtle Walks - a program designed to promote Sea turtle awareness that includes introduction to the Sea turtles, informative talks and a long walk on the beach stretch adjacent to the Croc Bank. There are great chances to actually see a female Sea turtle come ashore and lay eggs!
To register and for further information, contact Madras Crocodile Bank at Phone number 2747 2447 (between 10am – 5.30 pm)
