The rate of shark bites in Hawaii has been increasing slightly in recent years, but new research shows the risk remains extremely low, roughly 5-in-1 million.
HONOLULU — The rate of shark bites in Hawaii has been increasing slightly in recent years, but the risk remains extremely low — roughly 5-in-1 million — according to new research.
“It’s not a new message in terms of the big picture: The risk is low and that’s been known,” he said. “What we did that was new and a little bit different was look at the place and time globally over more than 50 years,” providing a historical context that might contribute to a better understanding of the risk.
“We did this to exhale and take a step back when shark attacks happen, and look at it from the big picture,” Midway said. “It’s not meant to be predictive or to tell you how to reduce your chances of getting bitten by a shark. It was designed to provide context to what, relatively speaking, is really a trivial occurrence in just about any one of the regions.”
