About this listen

In this episode of the Wild Systems Podcast, we travel along the city beaches of Chennai with olive ridley sea turtles and the people who share their coast. We follow a nesting female and a fisherman navigating a shoreline that is at once working waterfront, urban margin, and critical breeding ground. Along the way, we explore how sand mining, lights, fishing gear, and coastal engineering have reshaped this ecosystem, how community-driven conservation is trying to tip the balance back, and what it means for wild turtles to rely on one of India's busiest metros to complete a life cycle older than the city itself.
