SSB efficiently keeps sharks separated from swimmers and surfers, whilst safeguarding marine ecosystems.

About us

SharkSafe Barrier Pty Ltd is the only scientifically tested, eco-friendly shark-specific, robust barrier that protects surfers and swimmers, as well as large sharks, whilst safeguarding and contributing to the integrity of marine biodiversity. The SharkSafe Barrier merges the biomimicry of a thick kelp forest, known to be a natural barrier to some shark species, with large permanent magnets (which overwhelmed sharks' electromagnetic receptors) to create a shark-deterrent magnetic field. The SSB works 24/7 and is 20 times cheaper to maintain than shark exclusion nets. This novel technology solves international problems associated with shark attacks including loss of lives, loss of income for local businesses, and loss of biodiversity in marine ecosystems associated with current shark culling programs. It thus contributes to the preservation of a healthy ocean ecosystem, while also promoting the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth.
