Ocean Barrier is an Australian company using patented technology for protection from shark attacks. Sharks have electrical receptors in their snouts called “Ampullae of Lorenzini” which are used for finding food. Ocean Barrier’s Shark Shield technology creates an electrical field that interferes with the shark’s receptors causing them to turn away and distance themselves from the electrical current. The company has devised smart applications incorporating the shield unit to allow for swimming, diving, surfing and even spearfishing! The company has also created electrical barriers in the ocean to protect areas directly in front of hotels and resorts. Shark Shield is supported by surf legend Tom Carroll among a string of ambassadors.
