flag A 3D-printed harness aids a buoyancy-stricken sea turtle, Charlotte, marking a step towards helping other afflicted turtles.

flag A male sea turtle named Charlotte, suffering from "bubble butt" syndrome—a condition causing buoyancy issues due to air buildup in the body—has been helped by a 3D-printed harness. flag Created by Formlabs, Adia, and New Balance, the harness, made of carbon fiber and plastic, has improved Charlotte's swimming ability. flag The goal is to develop a template for similar harnesses to aid other afflicted turtles. flag Efforts also aim to reduce boat strikes, a major cause of the condition, by raising public awareness.
