Anjuna Biodiversity Group Demands Relocation of Turtle Nesting Site to Vagator Beach
Mapusa: The Anjuna Biodiversity President and members have urged the state government to relocate the turtle nesting preserved center from its current location to Vagator Beach. The demand comes amidst concerns over the safety and conservation of Olive Ridley turtles, which nest on the beach.
According to the group, the current location of the center is not suitable for turtle nesting, and the relocation to Vagator Beach would provide a safer and more conducive environment for the turtles.
“We have been observing the turtle nesting patterns for several years, and we strongly believe that Vagator Beach is the ideal location for the preserved center,” said Ramesh naik , President of Anjuna Biodiversity. “The beach provides a safe and undisturbed habitat for the turtles to nest, and we are confident that the relocation will help in the conservation of these endangered species.”
The group has submitted a formal proposal to the state government, highlighting the benefits of relocating the center to Vagator Beach. The proposal includes a detailed plan for the relocation, including the creation of a turtle-friendly habitat and the implementation of measures to protect the turtles from human disturbance.
“We urge the state government to consider our proposal and take immediate action to relocate the turtle nesting preserved center to Vagator Beach,” said another member of the Anjuna Biodiversity group. “The conservation of Olive Ridley turtles is a matter of utmost importance, and we must take all necessary steps to protect these magnificent creatures.”said the member
