Explanation:

A female turtle reaches maturity after nearly 15 years and when she lays the eggs on the shore , she immediately returns to the sea .The eggs of the turtles are stolen by egg hunters and then either eaten or sold in the market. If a turtle is spotted while still laying eggs, it is killed and eaten after it has finished the laying the eggs. The turtles are an important part of the marine food chain. So, India introduced the Indian Wildlife Protection Act .

Thus, it is important to protect the sea turtles in India.
