Description: This site relates to scientific research aimed at increasing understanding of tiger sharks. Major goals of this research include determining movement patterns and habitat use of these predators.
(Peron & LeSueur), is a large (up to 4.6m or 15ft) predator found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. Tiger sharks are one of three main shark species known to attack humans, and are thought to be responsible for most shark attacks in Hawaii. Three or four shark attacks occur per year on average in Hawaii (compared to an annual average of 40 drownings) and most attacks are non-fatal. This attack rate is surprisingly low considering that thousands of people swim, surf and dive in Hawaiian waters every day. Despite these statistics, shark attacks remain a highly emotive topic in Hawaii.
