Hawaii researchers tagged nearly 100 tiger sharks and monitoring them over 6 years.

Tiger sharks are one of the species most commonly involved with attacks on people.

Over the past 20 years Maui has had twice as many shark bites as Oahu, even though there are fewer people there.



One of the greatest concentration of attacks has been off SW side of the Valley Isle.

Meyer found around 80% of the days, two reporting sites had at least one tagged tiger shark visit: Makena and Kalama.

Those are also popular swimming, and surfing sites. Both locations also had multiple tagged sharks on half of the days, but shark visits don't usually last long.
