Rainbow Warrior tour of the Eastern coast of India to urge the Indian authorities to take urgent and proactive steps for the protection of Olive Ridley Turtle mass nesting sites and the natural heritage of the Orissa coast. Of the many threats to the Olive Ridley Turtle and the unique eco-systems of Orissa coast, the proposed port at Dhamra in the Bhitarkanika sanctuary, is the most immediate threat. Over the last decade close to 100,000 adult turtles have suffered from human activities at the coast of Orissa, with mechanized fishing being the principle cause.
