Sharkbanz Story 9 News Perth 2 23 2020

Sharkbanz, the leader in shark deterrent technology, continued its mission to mitigate human/shark conflict this past December, 2019. Traveling to Northwestern Australia, the team demonstrated how successful its patented shark deterrent band can be on native species such as the Bronze Whaler, responsible for numerous incidents throughout the continent over the past decade.

“Sharkbanz users in Australia have shared testimonials with us for years, and to show people how well it can work on local species like the bronze whaler is an important benchmark for us,” Sharkbanz co-founder Nathan Garrison said.

The team recorded frequent avoidance behaviors from the sharks using the brand’s trusted dummy “Bernie”. The new footage shows the dummy stuffed with chum floating on a surfboard among a feeding frenzy of various shark species, with no bites occurring for two hours. When the Sharkbanz was removed, the dummy was attacked within three minutes.

Sharkbanz will be donating 10% of its Australian sales proceeds to aid relief efforts via WIRES, the largest wildlife rescue organization in Australia.
