class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although Hawaii ranks high in bites, the central Hawaiian islands far exceed the number of incidents among the islands including the Northwest Hawaiian islands. This is likely a convergence of factors: population size and number of ocean hours spent, visitor load and migratory behavior.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-common-are-shark-attacks-hawaii\"><\/span>How common are shark attacks Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Incidents of sharks biting people in Hawaiian waters are very rare, occurring on average at a rate of about three or four per year. Fatal shark bites are extremely rare, especially considering the number of people in Hawaii&#39;s waters. People who enter the water need to recognize that there are hidden dangers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"should-i-worry-about-sharks-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Should I worry about sharks in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most of the shark bites on Oahu in 2019 were considered to be provoked incidents. In this case, this means going on a \u201cswimming with sharks\u201d tour, but provoked incidents can also include fishing. Of these in 2019, there has been 1 deadly shark attack officially recorded.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-hawaiian-island-has-the-most-sharks\"><\/span>What Hawaiian island has the most sharks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So as it stands, there have been 6-7 deadly shark attacks in Hawaii since 2004, with Maui being the deadliest island in Hawaii for shark attacks. Scientists say it&#39;s not a coincidence that Maui sees more shark attacks. They say Hawaii sharks like the ocean environment of Maui&#39;s shores.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-can-we-avoid-sharks-in-hawaii\"><\/span>How can we avoid sharks in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Safety Tips<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-time-of-year-are-sharks-most-active-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What time of year are sharks most active in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When Are Sharks Most Active In Hawaii? Another great question. Sharks are present all year round and can be active throughout the day. When shark attacks do happen, they are most likely to happen during the day, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-great-white-sharks-live-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Do great white sharks live in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In 2019, the largest great white on record was spotted off the coast of Oahu. Yes, great white sharks have been spotted around Hawaii.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-sharks-a-problem-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Are sharks a problem in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Since the time that shark attacks have been recorded by DLNR, officially there have been 6 deadly shark attacks in Hawaii, and all of those have taken place on Maui. Those took place in 2020, 2019, 2015, 2013 (2), and 2004 (source). Maui is the hot spot for human shark encounters followed by Oahu.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-tigers-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Are there tigers in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To put it in perspective, Hawaii has no poisonous land snakes, bears, crocodiles, hippos, leopards, komodo dragons, hyenas, lions, tigers, poisonous dart frogs, rhinos, etc.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-there-sharks-at-waikiki-beach\"><\/span>Is there sharks at Waikiki Beach?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes sharks are there, but it is rare and millions of people still enjoy their time in the water.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-sharks-smell-period-blood\"><\/span>Can sharks smell period blood?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A shark&#39;s sense of smell is powerful \u2013 it allows them to find prey from hundreds of yards away. Menstrual blood in the water could be detected by a shark, just like any urine or other bodily fluids. However, there is no positive evidence that menstruation is a factor in shark bites.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-colors-should-you-not-wear-in-the-ocean\"><\/span>What colors should you not wear in the ocean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For this reason, he suggests swimmers avoid wearing yellow, white, or even bathing suits with contrasting colors, like black and white. Burgess suggested divers who wear wet suits with bright colors, switch to all black. &#34;When I go diving, I wear black gloves with my black wet suit,&#34; explained Burgess.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-sharks-attracted-to-human-urine\"><\/span>Are sharks attracted to human urine?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>But are they attracted to blood or urine? Sharks are attracted to blood in the water. While they can smell human urine, they aren&#39;t particularly interested in it. Any tasty, smelly odorant is likely to get a shark excited but their sense of smell is no better than that of a tuna, and tiny amounts will go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-should-you-not-pee-in-the-shower\"><\/span>Why should you not pee in the shower?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas, a Boston-based doctor of physical therapy, told her 467,000 followers you shouldn&#39;t pee in the shower because it can train your brain to associate the sound of running water with urinating.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-ok-to-pee-in-ocean\"><\/span>Is it OK to pee in ocean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Peeing in the ocean is totally fine, but don&#39;t pee in protected areas like reefs or smaller bodies of water, especially swimming pools.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-much-poop-is-in-the-ocean\"><\/span>How much poop is in the ocean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>That&#39;s roughly 1.65 billion tons of carbon flushed into the depths each year, and all those droppings are part of what makes the ocean the largest active carbon sink in the world.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-survive-by-drinking-sea-water\"><\/span>Can you survive by drinking sea water?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Human kidneys can only make urine that is less salty than salt water. Therefore, to get rid of all the excess salt taken in by drinking seawater, you have to urinate more water than you drank. Eventually, you die of dehydration even as you become thirstier.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-ocean-water-drinkable\"><\/span>Is ocean water drinkable?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As you may already know, humans cannot drink seawater as an alternative to freshwater. Seawater is full of salt that typically dehydrates the human body.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-drink-ocean-water-if-you-boil-it\"><\/span>Can you drink ocean water if you boil it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Desalination is the process of removing salt from seawater, making it drinkable. This is done either by boiling the water and collecting the vapor (thermal) or by pushing it through special filters (membrane).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"will-we-run-out-of-water\"><\/span>Will we run out of water?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So it might appear that our planet may one day run out of water. Fortunately, that is not the case. Earth contains huge quantities of water in its oceans, lakes, rivers, the atmosphere, and believe it or not, in the rocks of the inner Earth.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-we-drink-rain-water\"><\/span>Can we drink rain water?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Rainwater can carry bacteria, parasites, viruses, and chemicals that could make you sick, and it has been linked to disease outbreaks. The risk of getting sick from rainwater may be different depending on your location, how frequently it rains, the season, and how you collect and store the rainwater.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"will-we-run-out-of-water-in-2050\"><\/span>Will we run out of water in 2050?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Demand for water will have grown by 40&#37; by 2050, and 25&#37; of people will live in countries without enough access to clean water. This warning does not come as a surprise. The UN, and other global organizations, have been warning us of water shortages by 2050 for years \u2014 if not decades.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-purest-water-to-drink\"><\/span>What is the purest water to drink?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Distilled water<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-my-rainwater-yellow\"><\/span>Why is my rainwater yellow?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Tannins in drinking water are caused by natural decaying of organic matter. Leaves or pine needles in the gutters are generally the cause in a rainwater collection system. A faint yellowing of water generally occurs at.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-often-should-a-water-tank-be-cleaned\"><\/span>How often should a water tank be cleaned?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>An internal inspection for signs of possible contamination and debris should be carried out every 6 months for drinking water and every 12 months for potable\/non-potable water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although Hawaii ranks high in bites, the central Hawaiian islands far exceed the number of incidents among the islands including the Northwest Hawaiian islands.
