Originally, we thought we would post many more biographies, but the task quickly overwhelmed us. We therefore include a representative selection of the wide variety of turtles that comprise the Honokowai ohana.
If we see a turtle most summers, we call it a "regular." Some skip a summer because of the nesting migration.

If we don't see a "regular" for two summers in a row, but the turtle was in reasonably good health when last sighted, we call it an "absentee." We believe the animal has simply moved elsewhere, or just isn't around when we are.
