How can drone cameras be used for shark sightings on Oahu?

Many shark sightings have been reported over the past several weeks, including a 20-foot tiger shark caught on video, which is why lifeguards want the city to do more about these ocean predators.

I can scan a beach for sharks with my drone in 15 minutes. You only need to search the first 100 yards from shore. That's where the surfers are. I hope the lifeguards embrace the technology.

That’s a big bugga. Sooner or later, somebody gonna get attacked. There should be drones at every lifeguard tower. Lifeguard should use drones to scan the water periodically for sharks.

Mel Puu used to rush some huge sets he was nuts!

The shark is literally scaring the turtles out of water 😂

[TreasureForeverOfficial]

Should maybe consider making “feeding the sharks” a major fine cuz that’s up 😅 causing danger for everyone else doing that

@:22 one twenty foot tiger shark?.. and later she says 12 foot tiger 🦈

People who live inland and don’t spend lots of time in sharky waters, stick to commenting about situations relevant to you and leave shark talk to people who are around them.

That's what I been saying for years the fishermen and shark tours are causing the sharks to view people as a food source

[Clluloid]

Enact a law that bans sharks from the ocean

[fhomec]

Drones can also be used for nefarious purposes also

This started in the late 80's, early 90's, before that, no fatal shark attacks for 30 years, then there were several. Tigers are true man eaters, not like Great Whites who hit you by mistake. I remember seeing them hanging up at harbor in Haleiwa. Jaws for real, huge mouths, big teeth, 15+ feet long. Two main reasons for the Tigers to come close to land, the ban on killing sea turtles and long line fishing by foreign boats, which strips the sea of fish, so the sharks need to come closer in to hunt. Their favorite food? Sea turtles. Doubt either problem will end soon.

Couple of weeks ago saw a baby shark 🦈 in 3 feet of it was around 5pm.

BE AWARE

a bump is not an attack . Check the multiple shark and human encounter videos from Malibu Artist on YouTube. Sometimes a bite happens, and that is rare. But, if a shark was “feeding “ or “atracking” like this guy is saying; we would have plenty of attacks all the time. The rare bites like we have seen before in no way means the sharks are “attacking” anyone. Ask Ulu Boy, He got bit and pulled down and he still became a lifeguard anyway.

I dont think that's a 20 footer. But it's certainly big enough to make me not surf there that day. Beautiful creature. I'd much rather see one while spearfishing than while surfing!

[ShaneB-evko]

20ft tiger!?!?!. Highly doubt that. It's extremely rare for a great white to get that big never mind a tiger. Maybe 15ft.

“People are feeding the sharks that’s probably why they’re lurking close to shore” 🤣 brah the shark is literally chasing the turtle. Too many turtles. Hawaiians should be able catch and eat a couple honu per year

The sharks were always there. There's tons of drone video from around the world showing great whites and tigers swiming next to beach goers without them even knowing. It should be of comfort to know that they so rarely bite people all of the shark attacks around the whole world are only in the double digits every year. You are 3 times more likely to be struck by lightning while indoors even if you're in the water every day. This isn't an exaggeration, look it up.

That dayum predator slithering and swimming around the shores not having to pay property taxes

[Phone-xt]

You can thank over fishing for that now the state needs to counter attack not good for citizens hunt the sharks feed to all your homeless because your governor won't regulate rents

[krissyscott]

To me it looks & moves like a whale shark.
