Sea turtle nesting site found at Kodi Beach, Karnataka

          


 Udupi, Karnataka: Local Fishermans have noticed a Sea Turtle nesting site near the lighthouse at Kodi Beach in Kundapur on Saturday. Following this, the Forest Department with the support of NGO’s and locals, are monitoring the place, and enclosures have been built at the spot.






Kundapur DCF Claimed that nesting has already begun, and it is expected to go on till the end of January. The forest department will be monitoring the nesting sites round the clock. The local fishing community and NGOs will be part of the conservation efforts like last year, he said.

 


"We are suspecting that there are around 80 to 100 eggs at the site. Last year, out of 11 hatcheries, around 250 hatchlings made it to the sea. The weather condition played spoilsport, and many eggs were destroyed. We hope this season we get to see more hatchlings getting back to the sea,” he said.


In a first-of-its-kind in-situ conservation campaign in the state taken up last year, the overall hatching rate was around 50-60% from about 11 nesting sites. Reasons for the poor hatching rate could be that the female that has laid the eggs was not fully mature, and all the eggs may not have been fully fertilized. In addition, due to high tide, the nests got wet, and a few eggs had a fungal infection. NGOs, including FSL India and Clean Kundapura Project have joined hands in the conservation efforts.

6 ways to stay safe while traveling solo


                                                6. ways to stay safe while traveling solo 




Yes, there’s a certain amount of risk involved with solo travel, but no more than the risks which exist in your everyday life. What I discovered quite quickly was that it’s actually very easy to stay safe when traveling solo, both physically and in your interactions online.
Solo travel is an incredible experience and one you’re guaranteed to remember for the rest of your life. If you’re concerned about your safety, utilize the following 6 smart travel tips and you’ll be absolutely fine.


                                                                1. Investigate



Knowledge is power when it comes to staying safe; it’s imperative that you fully research the destination you’re heading to, and properly investigate.  You should research common travel scams, find out what time the sun sets so you’re not out alone after dark, and, if you don’t want to be huddled over a third world toilet (been there, it’s not fun), you should find out which foods to avoid.
 U should investigate things like where my local embassy is, learn emergency phrases in the local language, and I’ve learned that it’s absolutely vital to know which conversation points to avoid. In some parts of the world, certain subjects like politics and religion are very touchy.



                                                           2. Dress appropriately



Dressing for success as a solo traveler means blending in. Your clothing needs to demonstrate cultural awareness and respect for local customs. You need to remember that the laws of foreign countries may not be as relaxed as you’re used to, and if your clothing is too obnoxious—you have exposed tattoos, or you’re showing too much skin—you stand out as a tourist and make yourself vulnerable to all sorts of possible attacks, like theft or sexual harassment.


                                                        3.Pack your common sense

I know, common sense is not so common these days. But the biggest secret to staying safe abroad has, and always will be, traveling with common sense. And by that I mean street smarts, trusting your gut, learning to read situations, and being aware of your surroundings.
Don’t leave anything unattended, anywhere. Don’t get recklessly drunk or experiment with new substances.


                                                             4.Stay connected



You don’t have to check in with friends and family every day, but staying connected is one of the easiest ways to ensure your safety. Whether that means updating social media and leaving a trail of digital breadcrumbs, sharing your itinerary with someone you trust, or checking in with your mom, if something suddenly happens, you want the people who care about you to know.  
Purchasing a local SIM card is a great idea for accessing help in an emergency, and traveling with a portable WiFi device or data roaming solution means access to information, money, and methods of communication if you desperately need it.
But it’s also about being able to receive news if an emergency happens at home.


                                                                      5.Use a VPN



While your physical safety is important, it’s equally as important to protect your devices, and the data stored on them; your passwords, your credit card details, your bank accounts. Travelers are more susceptible to malicious attacks and identity theft because we constantly connect to open WiFi networks. Whether at the airport, a hotel, or a cafĂ©, unprotected networks tempt us at every step of the way.
A high-quality VPN is one of the most useful tools you can have to keep your information secure when logged onto public WiFi. It encrypts your traffic so that criminals using the same network won’t be able to access your information, or even detect your presence. So make sure you’ve  "download hotspot shield vpn" before you travel.


                                              6. Be cautious of what you post online 

In having researched which conversation points to avoid, you should also be very cautious of what you post online. Many travelers have been arrested overseas for posting about political issues, but free speech is not a right in every country. Government agencies are monitoring online behavior, and if you’re in their country, they are watching your twitter feed.  
  But you should also be cautious about sharing details of your itinerary publicly – it’s tempting to “check in” at the hotel you’re staying at, but posting real-time updates could risk your safety. Once a traveler named Kim Kardashian was robbed in her Paris hotel room, It wasn’t exactly hard to find her location.

   With the proper planning and a dose of common sense, you shouldn’t be fearful of embarking on a solo travel adventure. You get to see the world, meet new people, and experience things you never thought you would.  So wishing you all the best.
