Shark Shield has
announced a new long-range Shark Deterrent: -
“Shark Shield
Announces Breakthrough Long Range Shark Deterrent
Media Release -
1 May 2017 - Following their presentation at the Senate inquiry into shark
mitigation and deterrent measures last week, Shark Shield, manufacturers of the
world’s only scientifically proven and independently tested electrical shark
deterrent, has today announced the pre-production release of a long-range
version of its technology. The new Shark Shield Ocean Guardian is based on 20
years of research and utilizes a patented Metamaterial Electromagnetic
Transducer, with expectations of repelling sharks within a 100-meter diameter
of each unit installed. Lindsay Lyon, Shark Shield CEO says, “The Ocean
Guardian has been many years in the making and has come about through a
partnership with leading physicists and biologists. We have been able to
produce a long-range shark deterrent solution to not only protect beach goers
but significantly reduce the environmental impacts caused by using shark nets,
drum lines and culling.” The new transducer form is based on technology used to
treat patients in the medical field including, oncology, urology and other
chronic diseases, with clinical studies demonstrating that the electromagnetic
field does not affect the health of humans or ocean life, such as sharks or
dolphins. “Sharks have small short range electrical receptors in their snouts
used for finding food. Shark Shield’s electromagnetic field causes unbearable
spasms in these sensitive sensors, which turn sharks away, this has been well
proven over the past twenty years. The Ocean Guardian leverages this weakness
in sharks to not only deter them, but in the long run we hope to teach them to
stay away from beaches protected by Shark Shield,” says Lyon. “Classical
conditioning, also known as Pavlovianor respondent conditioning, refers to a
learning procedure in which a biologically potent stimulus, such as food, is
paired with a previously neutral stimulus, such as long term use of Shark
Shield Ocean Guardian. With our Ocean Guardian in place, over time sharks will
learn to not enter the area and over time will avoid the area due to the
unpleasant effects of the electromagnetic field,” adds Lyon.”
Below are some facts
about the Shark Shield Ocean Guardian:
“The Ocean
Guardian transducer utilizes Metamaterials, or sometimes also known as
Artificial Electromagnetic Materials, these are new materials, which have
anomalous interaction with electromagnetic fields.
The engineering
of these unique materials results in physical properties not otherwise
obtainable with natural materials enabling advanced improvements in the
performance of conventional electromagnetic devices.
Starting from
these concepts and theoretical background of artificial electromagnetic
materials and metamaterials, Shark Shield has developed a transducer with
significantly improved losses.
The creation of
this negative index material has resulted in a reduction of transducer losses
in producing electromagnetic fields, this innovation has led to the new long
range technology in the new Shark Shield Ocean Guardian
