Lifeguards responded to 32 rescues in a single day at Kanahā Beach Park. North shore ocean safety captain Keola Brown said lifeguards just want to fair compensation so that they can support their families.

While the exact identity of the species was undetermined, officials said it could have been a tiger shark because of the size and aggressive behavior. The beach closure will remain in effect for the remainder of the day, and ocean safety crews are expected to reassess the area at sunrise on Friday.
