Olive ridley sea turtles are the most abundant sea turtle species in the world and are known for its mass nesting aggregations called arribadas. Arribadas occur so that there are safety in numbers. More hatchlings survive when they enter the sea with hundreds of others, as opposed to hatchlings born from a solitary nester. They are known for their heart shaped shells. Olive ridley turtles live globally in the coastal waters of at least 80 countries. They are believed to be long-lived much like other sea turtles, but their full age has yet to be determined. Although they are the most abundant species, their numbers have decreased by approximately 50 percent since the 1960’s. Olive ridley’s face a number of unnatural threats from human activities that have made this species endangered in Mexico and threatened with extinction everywhere else.
