Answer:
Sea Turtles lay their nest along the coastline. They perform an important function in marine ecology. They keep the sea clean. There are seven types of sea turtles in the world. The Olive Ridley, Green turtles and Hawksbills this three species are a part of the Maharashtrian coastline. When the female turtle reaches maturity at the age of fifteen years, she comes out of the water and builds a shallow nest to lay her eggs in and leaves to never come back. There are at least hundred to one hundred fifty eggs in one nest. The eggs hatch after a period of forty-five to fifty days, using the natural heat and warmth of the sun and the sand. After hatching, these hatchlings rush to the water to go back to their homes in the sea. The survival rate is very low. Only one or two turtles survive out of thousands. Recently, their species have become endangered since the eggs are often stolen and then eaten or sold in the market. Thus, it has become ecessary to protect these turtles.

Answer:
Sea Turtles are aquatic animals playing an important function in marine ecology - they keep the sea clean. Out of the seven species of sea turtles, five are found in India. Green turtles, Hawksbills, and Olive Ridley turtles are the three species of sea turtles that are found in Maharashtra. The Olive Ridley sea turtles nest all along the coast of Maharashtra. The female turtle comes to the shore only to lay eggs and then return back to the sea. They do not visit the nest again. The nest is just half a metre deep in the sand and holds around 100 -150 eggs. These eggs hatch using natural heat after a period of forty to forty-five days and the hatchlings rush back to the sea. An amazing fact is that all female turtles from these young hatchlings later come to the same place to lay their eggs after they mature. The only danger is the sea as the young ones are too weak to protect themselves. So only a few survive from a full nest. Besides that, the turtle eggs are also sold and eaten. It is important to protect these turtles on a large scale all over the world as they are now an endangered species.
