Sharks finding refuge along Hawaii coastline!!!

So here in Hawaii, we have been having a large amount of shark sightings, and it freaks me out. Here is the thing. We mostly frequent a beach that has a natural reef keeping out most predators and waves. It is nice for the kids to play in while I sit near the shore and watch. Well, I am hearing that in Brazil, there is the same type of deal going on, but the sharks are making it on the inside of the reef and attacking in knee deep water. AHHHH! I let the kids play where they can't touch with floaties on and this is happening? What am I supposed to do? Brandon plays the naive card and says that it won't hurt us to play in the water, but I am very skeptic. Nervous.

Not to mention ,that Brandon goes just beyond the reef to surf, and often by himself. What if something were to happen to him. I feel bad for these sharks because something is destroying their natural environment making it necessary for them to feast on humans instead of fish, but what? Times are a changing, and we may stay clear from the water until I can put out of my mind that there could be sharks looming in the water near my children!!!!
The pictures below are not from Hawaii, so don't freak out to much, but look how close to the shore they come!

Bubs totally needs to get a clue! He obviously didn't watch shark week did he? Good luck keeping those kids out of the water....They are not going to be happy with you.
