#Maui Pro shark

Using new DNA barcoding technology, researchers at the University of Hawai‘i have determined a tiger shark caused fatal injuries to a 56-year-old Nāpili man, who was bitten at Maui’s Honolua Bay on Dec. 8. Separately, by measuring bite marks on the surfer’s board, they have determined the shark was approximately 14.3-feet-long. 

Maui police have identified the man who suffered fatal injuries from an apparent shark bite at Honolua Bay on Tuesday as Robin Warren, 56, of Nāpili.

An adult male surfer who was bitten in an apparent shark encounter Tuesday morning at Honolua Bay, has since succumbed to his injuries early Wednesday evening, Maui Now has confirmed.

An adult male surfer was reportedly taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center after suffering from an apparent shark bite at Honolua Bay on Maui, where a surf competition was set to get underway at 10 a.m. today.
