"Jeff" is a juvenile hawksbill that was photographed by Jeff Milisen in 2008.
"Kekoa" ("warrior") was found floating in a lethargic condition for a couple of days in 2008, so it was brought to shore then taken to the Makai Animal Clinic to be examined by Dr. Morris. After ~4.5 months of rehab by NOAA, its damaged carapace was healed enough to be released. No photos are available of this process, but Blade Shepherd-Jones’ photos from his sighting ~4 months after it was released show the “7D” that was moto-tooled on its carapace by NOAA.
It was also featured on www.OahuDiving.com in 2013, so I'm awaiting more information about it to know when/where this photo was taken (note the barnacles on its head).
