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

[@roots808ndn8]

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.

[@buzz5969]

Are they supposed to be watching your house too?? You enter the ocean WATERMAN, You enter their home!😅😂

[@bsmbB]

It's probably scar back. Been coming to makaha for over 20 years

[@T_maktown]

@buzz5969 The big eye in the sky with enhanced surveillance capabilities. It's a problem because nobody is claiming them. Nobody wants to take responsibility-this is about the DLE and DLNR on the west side. These new departments ignore complaints while abusing technology and invading people’s privacy. I’ve seen drones-unmanned aerial vehicles-hover over homes, fully equipped with cameras. They say it’s stars or UFOs, but it’s surveillance, plain and simple. I’ve documented this. Last week, while parking at the Makaha Surfside Apartments, a drone swooped down low and backed off when I pulled out my camera. In March, after I spoke at a neighborhood board meeting about my false arrest, a drone with its lights off followed me home. Privacy is everything, and you don’t realize how precious it is until it’s violated. These drones are being used to harass and intimidate, not protect. Hawaii deserves better.

[@T_maktown]

I think the lifeguard should have these at every lifeguard stand but they'll be using it during the day... it's the night drones that are being weird like stalkers like organized criminals in the sky trying to keep people from filing lawsuits That's what they're doing

[@scarymonsterrs]

They pull people outta water they are not drone pilots and shark spotters though...

[@Surfdronesd]

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.

[@scarymonsterrs]

101 yards all good?

[@bsmbB]

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

[@TreasureForeverOfficial]

I agree I don’t like those shark tours it just doesn’t seem like a good idea to chum the water! If it’s making it unsafe let’s learn! And not let anyone do that anymore. If it puts our Ohana at risk (!!!!!) it’s not okay 🙏🏽

[@mikebranch7928]

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.

[@C3lluloid]

Enact a law that bans sharks from the ocean

Should paint a symbol on their back that shows their temperament. Like Green Triangle for friendly sharks and a Red Circle for mean sharks.

[@Trysaratop]

The shark is literally scaring the turtles out of water 😂

[@thatlovejones]

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.

[@savidwatkins9014]

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

[@buzz5969]

Its the ocean kid, sharks live there…😊

[@fhome2c]

Drones can also be used for nefarious purposes also

[@Surfdronesd]

So can any camera, including your phone. I don't get that argument.

[@T_maktown]

Lifeguards using drones during the day makes sense-it’s ethical and helpful. But at night, these drones pretending to be stars are getting reckless. I’ve documented dates and incidents, and now I’m forced to file a Freedom of Information Act request because no one answers when I write. Earlier this year, in March, after a neighborhood board meeting, I was followed home by a drone with its lights off, flying level with my car. This has been happening for nearly three years, ever since a hit-and-run on Orange Street. These drones are linked to gated communities and are being used for illegal surveillance and harassment. I’ve also documented video evidence because no one wants to answer. People are scared into silence, but I won’t be intimidated. I’m speaking out not just for myself but for my grandkids and the future. This isn’t law enforcement protecting the community-it’s organized harassment. Hawaii deserves better than this misuse of power. Drone used during the day by ethical professions using them to save lives and improve the community Now that's what it should be used for banning the fishing drones was weird anyway but it gave them clear skies and now recreational drones or banned too

[@T_maktown]

Nothing imaginary about none of this Keoki

[@michaela8194]

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-ev1ko]

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

[@TreasureForeverOfficial]

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

[@sunrayrosin7181]

a bump is not an attack . Check the multiple shark and human encounter videos from Malibu Artist on KZbin. 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.

[@blairakana9984]

It’s said the shark was coming up from underneath the Surfer and he lift up his legs where it would’ve bit his leg and bumped him off his board and that’s basically an attack which does not have to lead to a bite.

[@Trysaratop]

@@blairakana9984it wasn’t an attack, it might of bumped it to see if it was a seal but if that shark really wanted to attack that person after the bump they silly would have just bit them.

[@sunrayrosin7181]

@ i’ve seen when Ulu Boy got bit he did not get bumped first. My ex got bumped once while she was floating on her board and she paddled in but the shark left her alone. I have been in the water with a HUGE tiger and it swam towards me and then turned and swam away . And my friends saw a very large white shark stirring behind the wave when they were out on the cliffs off of the east side of the big island. They are out there. Some days we the divers near me come in with very big fish too. I’ve seen yellow fin shot within 200 from the shore that weighed over 103 pounds ect. Sometimes the sharks show up. It’s smart to let them be and maybe get out of the water if you like, but they don’t seem to be hunting people.

SHARK!

[@shinlanten]

*_"Exlploring????"_*

[@youruiz]

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.

[@nick1luke]

Your an idiot, if your surfing at a spot with a large tiger shark your way more likely to be bit by a shark than struck by lightning

[@coraj.cardoso5929]

I agree with you that there is very low probability of getting bit by a shark but when your in that ocean everyday the risks are likely to get higher. All in all I’m glad to see large sharks thriving and keeping the reefs healthy

[@spencersuganuma6393]

Not every shark attack is reported… and do these odds incorporate the fact that you have to be in the water to get bit by a shark? Like how you have to be in a plane to be in a plane crash? If you live in Hawaii and go in the water your odds go up significantly

[@youruiz]

@@spencersuganuma6393 There are less than 10 reported shark incidents a year in the whole state of Hawaii. Of these only a few are fatal and several of these reports don't result in any injury. There are 1.5 million people living full time and another 9.5 million tourists a year. Yet there are thousands of sharks prowling the beaches every day. Every shark attack that results in an injury is reported, unless you think there are people out there that get bit and then sneak home and sew up their own wounds. People 20 times more likely to drown in the ocean than be bit by a shark, according to HI statistics. The point is, it is stupid to worry about something that statistically will never happen to you, even if you are in the water, 365 days a year for 8 hours a day. The idea that "something should be done" about sharks is a knee jerk reaction to fear without understanding. Sharks are immensely important to reef ecosystems

[@jakeroberts7435]

In Florida most shark attacks happen to tourists wearing Speedos, even sharks have a degree of decency.
