Abstract
A green turtle, Chelonia mydas (Linnaeus, 1758),
the largest of the sea turtles, was found dead on the
sandy shores of Visakhapatnam on 3rd August 2012.
It is probable that it was hit by a boat propeller and
washed ashore. It is a matter of concern since green
turtles are endangered and are protected as per
various international agreements
