Warning signs will remain at Kehena Beach in Puna at least until noon today following an apparent shark attack Tuesday, according to the state Department of Land and Natural Resources.
A man swimming in turbid water about 100 yards off shore received lacerations on his right foot consistent with a shark bite, DLNR said.
“Reports indicate he was using swim fins and the splashing action created by fins has been known to attract sharks,” the agency said.
