  ABSTRACT: Nesting behaviour of sea turtles remains a subject to study, due to their enigmatic pattern of seasonal breeding activities. In the present study, characteristics of the breeding turtle,Olive Ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) at Ramnagar along N-E coast of North Andaman Islands wereinvestigated, for the nesting periods 2016-2017. Olive Ridley is the dominant sea turtles, with more than 300 individuals nesting every season with at leasta75% hatching success rate. It is one of the conducive, highly protective and undisturbed nesting sites for Olive Ridleyon North Andaman coast. In the present study an initiative is made, to identify nature’s cues and the biological characteristics of Olive Ridley, which leads it to nest at Ramnagar beach, withahigh hatchling success rate.
