With new Great White Shark sightings, and related human fatalities, yet again occurring this summer, we once more are reminded that our elected state and federal public officials have heinously neglected their responsibilities to protect the public.
Obviously, it is up to individuals to provide protection for themselves instead.
Shark Shield is a range of personal electrical deterrents developed by an Australian company of the same name.
Shark Shield takes advantage of small, short-range electrical receptors in shark snouts which are used for finding food. The electromagnetic field generated by Shark Shield is intended to cause ‘unbearable’ spasms in these sensitive sensors which turn sharks away.
The technology uses a direct current of 100 volts, quite minimal but effective.
The public is strongly urged to explore this highly-effective personal shark mitigation option.
