#VIRTUAL AQUARIUM SHARK SERIES#
The NSW government already uses shark nets on 51 beaches between the Illawarra and Hunter and recently announced a new netting program on the far north coast, following a series of attacks. “Rather than say it’s a shark or not a shark, a potential advancement is to identify individual shark species,” he said. UTS Professor Bill Gladstone said he hoped the technology could be refined, so that swimmers are warned only about threatening species, not harmless sharks. The trials have moved to the controlled environment of Sydney’s Sea Life Aquarium, to assess the system’s ability to detect different types of sharks, including the grey nurse.

Sea Life Aquarium to host trial Clever Buoy uses a multi-beam sonar system to produce an image of a marine animal. “We need to support that with research to make certain we make the best decisions about the technology we’re putting on our beaches,” she said.ĭuring an earlier trial, a Clever Buoy system was deployed to Sydney’s Bondi beach. However, she said further analysis of the data was needed to see whether system was effective enough to warrant widespread use in NSW, alongside other systems like “smart” drumlines, GPS tagging and drones. “We’ve had very clear water and we’ve certainly captured sharks on the Clever Buoy and on our cameras,” she said Head of fisheries research at DPI, Natalie Moltschaniwskyj said she was very happy with the results in the field.

“When we detect an object, an alert can go out to beach authorities be that a ranger or surf lifesaver,” Mr Talmage said. If a shark is detected, the system can warn swimmers and surfers of the danger using a mobile or satellite network.
