Bhitarkanika is unique habitat and a sanctuary for highly endangered species world over, Olive Ridley sea turtle. It is situated about 20 Km north of Paradeep Port. Based on the scientific data, the proposed port area is not directly related with nesting and mortality of Olive Ridley. POSCO-India will always focus on elimination of environmental risks from activities of port.
