Existing technologies offer potential solutions to reduce shark attacks and improve ocean safety for swimmers and surfers. These include drones for surveillance, “smart” drumlines designed to minimize harm to marine life, and personal deterrent devices. Despite the availability of these tools, their implementation remains limited. Experts argue that wider deployment of these technologies is crucial for proactively preventing shark bites. The current situation suggests a gap between available preventative measures and their practical application. Increased adoption could significantly enhance safety in the ocean for recreational users. Further investment and strategic implementation are needed to maximize the effectiveness of these technologies.
