SharkSafe Barrier

Protect Your Coast Line

“The SharkSafe Barrier^TM is a product that has been developed to ensure the safety of beach goers from shark attacks, to prevent the loss of tourism revenue following these traumatic events and to stop the environmental damage caused by some of the protection measures currently used”

Protecting Sharks & Other Marine Life

Risks associated with shark attacks on beachgoers have been internationally addressed by deploying drum lines and shark nets: technologies developed to minimise shark attacks by reducing shark numbers. Shark nets, in particular, are not shark specific, and responsible for high levels of biodiversity loss by causing mortality of harmless sharks, whales, dolphins, sea turtles and large bony fishes.

The Product

SharkSafe Barrier^TM successfully bio-mimics the visual effects of a kelp forest, and combines this with a series of permanent magnetic stimuli, to form a barrier that dissuades sharks from passing through. The SharkSafe Barrier^TM can be the first 100% effective eco-friendly technology to protect humans from sharks without harming marine life.

This innovation provides an eco-friendly alternative that will aid in biodiversity conservation and will reduce shark attacks and anxiety on beachgoers.
