Leni Haapala and her husband saw what appears to be about five sharks just before 7 Wednesday night, right in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort.
People who are like "omg no duh sharks live in dee ocean" are simplistic and silly. If you dont know the diff between open ocean and a reef nearby where humans feequent, then just keep ypur stupidity to yourself.
A drone program with several UAVs assigned to pre-defined sections of the beach should be MANDATORY for Hawaii and other shark hotspots like Florida and Australia. Spotting the toothy beasts BEFORE they strike will make swimming and surfing demonstrably safer worldwide. Beachgoers can be informed that they must head for the sand calmly but speedily any time a drone descends near them. Taking the idea a step further, loudspeaker announcements could be made to swimmers and surfers using camera drones equipped with readily available loudspeaker fixtures. Drones could also drop loud but non-lethal bomblets to frighten or distract sharks whose behavior suggests an intent to predate on a human being.
I like this idea but it is not realistic.. the cost for the drone operator along with how many operators you need to cover a beach. There’s also human error where the operator could be tired or not looking at their screen which can cause a shark to swim past their vision. Not to mention health insurance, 401k, etc.. I don’t think most beaches have life guards as well. Imagine trying to get a drone up there when they can’t even get a lifeguard to come in on some days.
Exactly! Always so wonderful new cute and nice when it’s a seal or turtle , I remember young time how my Hawaiian family enjoyed eating turtle the use go Hanama , makua and punaluu go get
Unless it’s a surprise attack All you have to do is swim faster than your buddy . Same rule with bears just make sure you run faster than the slowest member of the group
Sharks 🦈 are very hungry because of food in the ocean is getting less because of the bombing 💣 in the ocean from the Military is contaminating the ocean
Mother Earth coming back with a vengeance to claim at least 1 piece of land stolen from her. We can at least leave her at peace with her shark babies. Fun fact: when a human is devoured by a shark, typically a hunt is set forth and ALL sharks in the surrounding area of the attack are “humanely euthanized” until the remains are found. Shame.
Well..sharks live in the ocean! Duh! 😒 🙄 Humans saying that they’ve spotted sharks in the water is like saying you’ve spotted a woman in a shoe store. 😆
Hungry tiger sharks . They’re not after anything until they are so be careful . It’s their area . It’s not smart to get in there with them hoping they ll leave ya alone
One way or the other, the ocean is not our swimming pool, it is Mother Nature’s biggest feeding frenzy. Literally everything eats something else.
That is also true of land. That's just nature as a whole.

Now THATS very unusual! Sharks are rately seen off Waikiki. The Reef there is dead for the most part.

It's the genki balls and reef safe sunscreen lol the water doesn't smell like sunscreen anymore 😂
Sharks have discovered they like the taste of tourist pee.

I’m sure the deep water “mining” isn’t helping either.

That's great
Sharks in the ocean?? No way!!
It’s their ocean, not ours…probably hunting…
