Marcel's Ocean Awakening

Marcel, a Seychellois marine biologist, noticed corals thriving unexpectedly. Rumors spread: genetic enhancements allowed humans to change microbiomes, even digest plastics. Local fishers whispered of tourists with luminescent eyes. Curious, Marcel tried the genetic treatment, a temporary alteration making him ocean-resistant. Diving deep, he discovered vibrant reefs, free from human waste. His surprise turned to awe; these innovations were healing the world. However, this power was not without consequence. As his temporary mutations faded, the reality of responsibility loomed. Marcel, now an advocate, began educating his islanders on balancing gene tech benefits with respect for nature’s harmony.
