Satellite-tagged Olive Ridley turtle stops transmitting signal after travelling 1,000km
Two satellite-tagged Olive Ridley turtles, released from Odisha's Gahirmatha sanctuary, have ceased transmitting signals after journeys of approximately 1,000 km towards Sri Lanka. Scientists from WII and the state forest department are investigating the reasons, which could include device failure, mortality, or tag detachment. This tracking effort aims to understand the turtles' migratory patterns.
