Goa’s coastline is a nesting site for:

Sea turtles
Whales
Dolphins
Sharks

The correct answer is: Sea turtles.

Goa’s coastline is a nesting site for four species of sea turtles: the olive ridley, the green turtle, the leatherback, and the hawksbill. These turtles are all endangered or critically endangered, and their nesting sites are protected by law.

Sea turtles are reptiles that live in both the ocean and on land. They are the only reptiles that lay their eggs on land. The female turtle will come ashore at night to lay her eggs in a sandy beach. She will dig a hole in the sand and lay about 100 eggs. The eggs will incubate for about two months, and then the baby turtles will hatch. The baby turtles will then make their way to the ocean.

Sea turtles are an important part of the marine ecosystem. They help to keep the population of seagrass and algae in check. They also help to disperse seeds from plants that grow on the beach.

Sea turtles are facing many threats, including habitat loss, hunting, and pollution. It is important to protect sea turtles and their nesting sites. We can do this by supporting conservation efforts, reducing our impact on the environment, and choosing sustainable seafood.

Whale, dolphins, and sharks are not known to nest on Goa’s coastline.
