Among the technologies to deter, experts propose installing underground electrical barriers that would feed for wave energy devices and lead positions swimmers and surfers. The Shark Shield company has designed a device with the same name ("shark shield") to be fixed in the ankle and emits an electric field that interacts with a gelatinous blisters on the snouts of sharks to provoke spasms.
The device has been tested by the University of Western Australia, which confirms its effects up to 90% success waiting to hear more about how it impacts on some species of sharks.
Other proposed solutions extend poses a barrier rigid nylon able to resist the force of ocean currents. Some experts prefer a fine mesh nets, which are harmful to coral seabed. The creation of electrical barriers is also valued: his defender, Geremy Cliff marine biologist believes may be a solution, but acknowledged that its development is still precarious.
The meeting also discussed the detection technologies sharks, as the Clever Buoy system ("smart beacon"), which sends signals to a satellite indicating the animal proximity to the coast.
Other researchers have proposed swimwear for surfers that sharks color blind, confuse with the seabed.
The government is also supported by local scientists to take stock of recent discoveries worldwide. It is the case of a marine biologist at the University of Bond Daryl McPhee. Speaking to Agence France Presse, he said that "sharks have seven senses.
We do not know how they perceive their environment, but we know much [about it] ten years ago. Now we can use technology to design better technologies deterrence. "Ultimately, the cause of increased attacks by these animals is unknown.
