About

The SharkSafe BarrierTM technology consists of merging two well-known shark deterrent technologies: it bio-mimics the visual appearance of a kelp forest and emits a strong magnetic field.
The SharkSafe BarrierTM technology proved to be 100% effective to exclude great white sharks and bull sharks from a food source in all tests conducted. The results of the scientific tests are published in peer reviewed scientific journals (www.sharksafesolution.com/our-product/#publications). The SharkSafe Barrier concept has been patented in Australia (213350811), Europe (13821175.0), the USA (14/647,646) and Africa (F2016/00959; F2016/00960; F2016/00961; F2016/00962).
