RE: Moments on Maui PART 2: 🚣 Interrupting Tumor Turtle 🐢
Ach! That's not a pretty sight. Really though, I think if they were left alone (far far away from humans, that is) they would be better off. On their own they live for centuries, so I guess man-made influences might've contributed to their growth. There really should be efforts to remedy them of this before this gets out of hand. In another life I'm a marine bioligist, and would gladly take up the mantle for this initiative, but in this one I'm just a concerned software engineer.
I feel the same way! Before I ever wanted to be a programmer I wanted to be a marine biologist. One of my best friends went into that field and is saving sea stars.
I hope the scientists who are working on this figure out the cause soon, and that preventative measures can be taken.
Maybe it's a natural path for coders, talking about wanting to be a marine biologist but end up writing algorithms.
Haha, and then using money earned from writing algorithms to gawk at marine life... sounds about right.
