海洋生物学家：海龟的守护者
Grace Buschiazzo is a marine biologist at the Sea Turtle Care Center. Since the care center opened in 2000, workers there have seen many trapped turtles. Many turtles are also faced with obstacles like boat strikes, cold, and animal bites.
Buschiazzo is part of the team who care for sea turtles around the clock. “The best part about my job is that every single day is different,” Buschiazzo said. “We like to joke that sea turtle biologists are part-time cleaners, part-time chefs, and part-time nurses. So, basically, whatever the sea turtles need from me, I’m going to do it.”
Buschiazzo was in fourth grade when she decided she wanted to become a marine biologist one day. Then at 15, she went to Panama. She volunteered for a nesting project that helped protect sea turtle eggs from illegal hunters. That’s when she fell in love with sea turtles.
As a sea turtle biologist, Buschiazzo works directly with vets. “They’re going to check the turtles and tell me what the turtles need,” she says. “And it’s my job to make sure the turtles are getting it.” She also makes the turtles’ meals and monitors their nutrition (营养). She plans activities that are similar to the ones in the wild. She does everything she can to prepare the turtles to get back into the ocean.
Buschiazzo suggests that kids interested in a similar career path should volunteer, as she did. “You can do it at an aquarium (水族馆), at a zoo,” she says. “You could do it at a local animal shelter. There are lots of ways to help animals.”
