Best Answer

Sea Turtles (superfamily Chelonioidea) are found in all the world's oceans except the Arctic Ocean, although they are more generally found in the tropic and temperate regions of the world. This is because they are cold-blooded (except the warm blooded leather backs), and so need the warmth of the water to help them survive.

There are seven living species of sea turtles: flatback, green sea turtle, Hawksbill, Kemp's Ridley, Leatherback, Loggerhead and Olive Ridley. The Olive Ridley is usually found in the Indo-Pacific and Atlantic oceans. In Indian ocean - Devi, Gahirmatha and Rushikulya beaches in Orissa are known to be the largest nesting sites for the Olive Ridley Turtles.
