Bageshri, a female turtle tagged in Ratnagiri, has reached Kerala, while another one named Guha has reached Karnataka. This significant update reveals the movement of satellite-tagged olive ridley turtles.

On Friday, the Mangrove Cell tweeted, “This week, Bageshri turned towards the Kerala coast and entered the continental shelf waters there. It is approximately 75 km offshore from the renowned Kollam beach. On the other hand, Guha has ventured into the deep waters off the Karnataka coast and is gradually heading south.”
