Owing to its tropical location, Sri Lanka is surrounded by waters that teem with vibrant marine life. The sea life found around the island consists of many that are entitled in the list of IUCN as endangered species and turtles rank among the most prominent creatures on this list. All of five sea turtle species such as the Green, Olive Ridley, Loggerhead, Leatherback and Hawksbill turtles can be found in the waters surrounding the island. And all of these turtles occasionally drop by the shores to lay their eggs.
