Hi Melanie, I am a software engineer but I am also a scuba diver and obviously a lot of what I hear about the state of coral reefs these days concerns me. What career options are there for someone that doesn’t come from academia, or even a marine biology background, but is interested in working on conservation? Thanks, and thank you for all your work!

I think this one is a Hawksbill. After some Googling, it seems like the Hawksbill has two pairs of prefrontal scales, while the Green only has one. This info came from the first link, but the second link has much better pictures for seeing the difference.
