Australian shark deterrent device tested off Sydney
The device uses high power loudspeakers on the ocean floor to emit shark repelling sounds. Theo Brown, marine researcher and diver, developed the system after witnessing a shark attack in Sydney harbor. Trials span the Great Barrier Reef and Papua New Guinea with backing from Broken Hill Proprietary Co. Ltd and international partners. Brown envisions deployment on beaches and ships to aid survivors, while concerns over misuse lead to calls for international rules.
