Pollution. Specifically it is agricultural runoff from pineapple and sugar cane fields. The pesticides and other chemicals ultimately wind up in the ocean, these chemicals also come from golf courses, residential products, etc. It is worthwhile to note that Sea turtles have been around since before the dinosaurs, they have survived incredible change in the hundreds of millions of years that they have been around; and as far as we know, they have never had tumours... till us that is.
