  • Bubble Butt Syndrome affects turtles' buoyancy due to air accumulation from injuries, hindering their ability to swim properly.
  • A sea turtle named Charlotte at Mystic Aquarium received a 3D-printed harness, enhancing his swimming capabilities.
  • The development of this harness took approximately five years, involving multiple partners including Formlabs and New Balance.
  • Charlotte's success could lead to a template for other turtles suffering from similar ailments.
  • The Turtle Hospital is currently treating around 15 turtles with bubble butt syndrome, aiming to raise awareness about the growing issue of boat strikes.
