The United Coast Guard Hawaii Pacific also tweeted that rescuers are searching for the lady with Boats, helicopters, planes and jet skis. The species and size of shark are not known. The area is restricted where the shark was seen and people are being asked to avoid the area. The area was closed until the authorities reconsider the situation.
Dennison in the conference said that the authorities could not reveal the information due to their policies on shark-related incidents but said that searching is going on for the lady who possibly disappeared due to a shark attack.
The rescuers resumed searches Friday nightfall empty-handed. The officials could not find the missing woman.
