Back a few years ago the Cape Cod Towns whose beaches had a white shark problem hired for $50,000, the Woods Hole Group to analyze every conceivable proposed white shark mitigation suggestion; about 27 in total, covering just about every Idea a person could come up with.

The WHG conclusion was they could not recommend any mitigation suggestions as the way to avoid a shark confrontation. If you want to avoid a shark confrontation stay out of the water.

Time has passed and electronic mitigation devices are coming back. Not just the ones mentioned in the article, but real-time buoys, and permanent shoreside flashing alarms.

As long as us Homo sapiens have to confront an unsolvable problem, with the protected sharks and seals; we will keep trying. -Tom

I’d give my right arm to be in a trial like that…

[Larry Lucido]

What could go wrong?

[Fido969]

Trial and error...

[dainbramaged]

It’s pretty simple, really - stay out of the water.

[Capt. Tom]

What could go wrong?

I guess the batteries and/or the shoreside power could fail. -Tom

per the Discovery Channel reports, the best shark repellent is shark’s blood. Accordingly, shark blood in the water can keep sharks away from the area for days.

Okay, here goes...

Killer whales and sharks don’t get along.

Sharks have a great sense of smell.

Get Orka blubber, distill it down, make a spray like deet, and viola no more shark attacks.

I will say that since I’m the inventor, I will ask for volunteers to test the concoction.

Just don’t get orca blubber from a female that was in heat...just sayin’!

[Night Hides Not]

LMAO...and eat more chicken...lol

[M Kehoe]

Good point.

QC would have caught that... hopefully.

Sure. I’m not going to be the person who provides a real-life lab experiment in which the shark learns that the electrical current won’t stop him from gobbling his juicy prey.

People will use this to swim where they know there are sharks. And the sharks will appreciate the occasional hors-d’oeuvre.

Sharks and people aren’t going to live in peaceful harmony, side by side, each going his way without bothering the other as long as those par-boiled tasty morsels are on the menu.

I was wondering how effective just blasting them would be. Shark blood as a repellent seems like a win, win.

So far this year, there’s more people on the Cape swallowed by whales than bit by sharks.

[Bell Bouy II]

My how we forget and not long ago.

[Track9]

The sharks have found the equivalent of Martin Luther King drive and Malcolm X boulevard. 40 years of libtard eco policy and now every day your life hangs in the balance.

[knarf]

So why am I flooded with shark threads ?

[Born to Conserve]

Seal population are growing.
Shark population are growing.
The sharks are going to get big.
