Over the past two years, our team has deployed the largest non-netted shark exclusion barrier to date (in Cape Cod) as a way to see if it is an effective shark deterrent technology that could replace shark nets and drumlines that kill countless sharks and other types of marine wildlife.

The results were better than expected. Please watch to the end to see the typical white shark response. We did not have any white sharks swim through during the duration of experimentation and we hope to continue to move forward in the coming months to make the dream of ending shark culling a reality.
