古吉拉特邦附近海域发现了四种海龟——橄榄丽龟、绿海龟、棱皮龟和玳瑁海龟，但已知只有前两种在其海岸筑巢（Bhaskar 1978、1984，Kar and Bhaskar 1982）。只有少数研究报告了可能的筑巢地点和状况、掠夺蛋和采砂等威胁，以及为了石油和鳍而捕杀海龟（Frazier 1980）；没有详细的最新信息。除了 Bhaskar 的早期工作、一些关于国际标签回归的注释（Firdous 1991）、搁浅动物的尸检（Frazier 1989）以及 Trivedi 的一些未发表的报告1，古吉拉特邦记录的有关海龟的信息很少。
Four species of sea turtles—olive ridley turtles, green turtles, leatherback turtles and hawksbill turtles—are found in the waters off Gujarat, but only the first two are known to nest along its coast (Bhaskar 1978, 1984, Kar and Bhaskar 1982). Only a few studies have reported possible nesting sites and status, threats such as egg depredation and sand mining, and killing of turtles for oil and flippers (Frazier 1980); no detailed, recent information is available. Apart from Bhaskar’s early work, some notes on an international tag return (Firdous 1991), necropsies from stranded animals (Frazier 1989), and some unpublished reports by Trivedi,1 little information on sea turtles has been recorded from Gujarat.
