The satellite tags on the two turtles which have been providing crucial information to the scientists about the reptiles for over seven months have gone unresponsive one after the other. The satellite tags enabled the scientists to document the remarkable journey of the two turtles from the Konkan coast in Maharashtra. The satellite tag on turtle Guha whose journey was tracked from Konkan to Malabar coast was the first device to stop transmission.

Two days later, the satellite tag of turtle Bageshri which had travelled from Maharashtra to the Bay of Bengal through Sri Lankan waters ceased sending signals in September 2023. The scientists now have crucial information about the two female olive ridley turtles gathered from 225 days of tracking.
