Endangered leatherback sea turtles are known for their open-ocean migratory nature and nomadic foraging habits - traveling thousands of miles.

Les plus grands spécialistes mondiaux des tortues ont découvert que près de la moitié (45%) des populations menacées de tortues marines se trouvent dans le nord de l'Océan Indien. L'étude a aussi déterminé que les menaces les plus importantes pour l'ensemble des populations des tortues marines sont les captures accidentelles par des pêcheurs qui ciblent d'autres espèces, et le prélèvement direct de tortues ou de leurs œufs pour les manger ou pour le commerce de l'écaille.
