Sea turtles are known to occupy a series of different habitats in their lifetime which are broadly categorized into the terrestrial habitat of the nesting females and the pelagic and oceanic habitat of the immediate post-hatchling phase. However, the terrestrial habitat of the nesting females plays a very important role in the life cycle of the sea turtles as this is where the next generation is hatched. Female sea turtles need to come onto land to lay eggs for which they must have access to suitable beaches (Hendrickson 1982; Plotkin 2010; Behera et al. 2013).
