Charlotte, a green sea turtle, was hit by a boat back in 2008. This left it with an affliction colloquially referred to as the \u201cbubble butt,\u201d a kind of floating syndrome that makes it impossible for a turtle to dive. Most sea turtles suffering from issues like this simply die at sea, since the condition leaves them stranded at the surface where they can\u2019t forage, sleep, and avoid predators like sharks. But fate had other plans for Charlotte.<\/p>\n

Charlotte didn\u2019t end up as a shark\u2019s lunch and didn\u2019t starve to death floating helplessly in the ocean. Instead, it got rescued shortly after the boat accident and eventually found a home at Mystic Aquarium in Stonington, Connecticut, where it received professional care. That was the first time Charlotte got lucky. The second time came when a collaboration formed: Adia, a company specializing in 3D-printing solutions; Formlabs, one of the world\u2019s leading manufacturers of 3D printers; and New Balance Athletic, a sportswear giant based in Boston. This team chose Charlotte as a technology showcase, which basically turned the turtle into an Oscar Pistorius of the sea\u2014just without the criminal conviction.<\/p>\n

Weights and diet<\/h2>\n

Sea turtles are marine reptiles, which means they don\u2019t have gills like fish\u2014they need air to breathe. The lungs also play a key role in their buoyancy regulation system, which allows them to rest for extended periods of time at the sea floor or float at a precisely chosen depth. A sea turtle can precisely choose the depth at which it achieves neutral buoyancy by inhaling the exactly right volume of air.<\/p>\n
