In the late 1970s, Satish Bhaskar embarked on an epic journey along India’s coastline and the spectacular Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where he uncovered the vital nesting beaches of sea turtles. During his death-defying quest, he unravelled mysteries surrounding these enigmatic ocean creatures and set out to save them from extinction. After the devastating tsunami of 2004, Bhaskar grappled with a pressing question. What happens to sea turtles when their nesting beaches disappear?
