Sharks in Australia are tagged

Australian scientists have attached tags containing signal transmitting devices to 338 sharks to determine their location to provide a timely warning, limiting attacks caused by sharks. Signal transmitters are monitored continuously by a team of shark research scientists in Australia.

The shark sharks are mounted including large white sharks, whale sharks and sand tiger sharks. When sharks appear about 800 meters away from the coast, the warning signal will automatically transmit to the computer and turn into a message. Alert messages with information such as size, breed and exact location of sharks will automatically tweet to the Surf Life Saving Western Australia's Twitter page.

Surf Life Saving Western Australia, Chris Peck: " The card-based remote warning system is said to be able to provide alarms faster than traditional methods. Currently, this is an information system. The fastest system can automatically generate a warning on the association's Twitter page so people can easily access it. "

Research director of Shark Spotters in South Africa shared: "Creative thinking is what we need in the process of finding solutions to conflicts between people and wildlife. Australian scientists are quite creative, but remember to make sure that all fat people are tagged. "

Through the monitoring of shark activity, scientists also found that some shark species can move to many places as far away from the Western Australia Sea to the waters of South Africa. Besides, scientists also realized that great white sharks do not prey on a fixed location but constantly move along the coast.

According to annual statistics, Australia is the country with the most attacks by sharks in the world. Governments in some localities in Australia are proposing a solution to trap and kill sharks hovering near the coast.
