#Repost from cofounder @oceanramsey testing shark deterrents with @juansharks to facilitate coexistence with the these amazing animals. Check them out to learn more about the work they’re doing! #Repost @oceanramsey ・・・ Just getting back to land after working with @rpela_surf independently testing their #sharkdetterent on #greatWhiteSharks #whitesharks #whitepointers way offshore in some of the remote parts of #Australia I love that this company is using independent unbiased researchers from around the world to help with their permitted studies and they’ve put all of their money into testing & development, not marketing. This photo is from #Guadalupe not #Australia but we did see one tagged shark during our time offshore. I think it’s important to help test deterrents because I would love to help people better #CoexistWithSharks #Sharkrepellants are no substitution for not consciously accounting for environmental conditions and your behavior (IE: Don’t spear fish in low visibility or surf in murky areas near sea lions and fishermen, etc) but in combination with human behavioral modification my hope is that more ways and technology can be developed to help offset humans somewhat confusing presence in the #ocean in #sharksterritory #rpela #rpelashark #rpelasharkdeterrant #sharkdeterrant #surfingwithsharks #sharkrepellent #sharkattack #sharkscience #itstheirocean #learntocoexist #respectsharks #respect #ocean #studysharks #helpsavesharks If you’re a marine biologist in Western Australia and are interested in helping with the studies you can email [email protected] to apply to get involved, it’s not glamours or easy or paid (so no conflict of interest) but it is important for the potential to help save lives 💙🌊
