It's cheaper if they have someone in a drone playing the Jaws theme music to alert people a sharks near by😅
There's a guy that uses a drone to video sharks from above and sometimes if the shark seems a bit too close to surfers he'll fly down to signal there is a shark close. He said the waves and wind are too loud for speakers to help.
@@khrp7174The Malibu Artist Wonderful Channel With Carlos
@@khrp7174he's called The Malibu Artist and in the last 5 years his footage has advanced what we know about great white shark behavior twenty years. Check out his CZcams - recently posted an interaction between a grey whale, a great white, and a small pod of dolphins. First time in history it's ever been recorded.
Or just use drones over beaches that people are using….that would save tons of money and save lives.
IF ONLY....they could understand in time to always get out
Sharks are the apex predator of the sea. Orcas say, “hold my beer”
WE STILL DOING THE HOLD MY BEER BS, GET A LIFE
Anyone that needs someone else to hold their beer are likely uncertain of their gender.😊
😂😂❤
I figured we’d progress to hold my seltzer by now… 😅
@@buzz5969uhh how do these things relate in any imaginable way? 🙄
To be clear the Apex Predator in the ocean is the Killer Whale (Orca) not the Great White shark. Nice journalism guys.
Par for the course in today's world.
Apex predators are whichever species is at the top of their food chain within their ecosystem. Orcas are not usually a part of that equation in most cases of inshore/nearshore water.
@@Andy-zy2or huh DAWG ORCAS HUNT GREAT WHITES FOR FUN , an apex predator is a predator with out other natural predators
great whites are not apex predator's , they're actively hunter by orcas for livers and etc
thats like saying orcas and great whites aren't in the same exact ecosystem
matter fact the reason why a lot of shark attacks are becoming the norm is because of the shark schools(a shiver) baby sharks not being ready enough to go into the ocean due to other predators being out their and still aren't ready to be out there and have to feed on shore animals
crazy for you to really say orcas aren't part of great white ecosystem I can defo tell they're your favorite animals by the glaze
Anything to draw attention to the news..
I was just going to comment that 😂
Awesome !!! Bring him in to the studio to interview him. I think it's a great idea!!
Ppl do eat those sharks buddy everything not pretty like mc Donald's food stamps
He's a little busy atm
I want a small, wearable version. Electromagnetic bracelets and anklets.
Exactly!
Yes they have something called sharkbanz. I gave one to my friend in Hawaii as a gift and we went night diving only to see a large tiger shark. He said he has never come that close to a shark in all his years diving. He gave it back to me and said he’ll never wear it again. The magnets increase their curiosity so they will definitely investigate but something in the magnets keeps them from being aggressive. Sharks can sense panic and heart rate, so even if you wear a shark band, there’s no telling what would happen if you freak out enough. Best thing to do is ignore it just like a cat and act like you're supposed to be there, chillin'.
@@Yinzer808 lol Are you a stock holder for the company in this story?
@@simoansays4820 No, don't buy a sharkbanz. Just swim with a group of people and don't panic if you see one...
They have something called a Shark Shield, it's a bigger device that gives off an electric shock. It definitely works some of the time, but isn't 100% fool proof.
It's 2024, and it's disappointing that we still lack advanced technology to effectively prevent shark attack casualties in Southern California. With the advancements we've seen in other areas, it's surprising that this issue hasn't been addressed more thoroughly.
Because it’s not a huge issue.
“Bicycle Accident Statistics 2019: California witnessed 143 bicycle fatalities in the year 2019. According to the International Shark Attack File, California had 28 shark bites in 2019. The average number of shark attacks in California over the past decade is 1.8 per year.”
So what about the turtles that nest on beaches across the entire ocean along the U.S.? Or what happens when major storms come through and carry that barrier out to sea? I doubt we'll see this as something useful.
Omgggg you have an amazing point
I see your point with storms however turtles don’t have the same electro reception so should be fine
@@lukegreene1931 Turtles can feel electric shock just like the sharks can.
@@Hayyyward Wrong, turtles don't have the electrical impulses that sharks do. It only works on sharks. This isn't new, it's been in Australia for about 30 years
@@ttvcheesecakebtw1233 If it sends out an electric shock, turtles will feel it. It does not work just on sharks.
How will this affect other sea animals? Such as sea turtles who lay eggs on the shore? What about other fish? If it’s just sectioning off a small section on a beach where people can go swimming then that’s ideal but to mass produce these across all beaches could ultimately have a harmful effect on sea life.
Kind of wild calling the ocean “our waters” when they actually live in it
Sharks dont got no deed to the water and cant legally own things. So they are humans water. We just allow them to live in it.
Not wild, but realistic. If humans wanted to we could wipe out nearly all marine life. So to say we deserve to own a specified yardage off of every coast is more than generous.
@@TylersTakeyou for real?
It's like the whole race debate. I don't see white people not running the world for as long as we're on Earth. So yes, humans do own the Earth @@Ibrahim-dq9tk
That's the human way..😢
Other animals can get tangled in that still… shark attacks are NOT a threat. This is not worth the risk of hurting animals
That's fantastic, however has a food source been placed on the other side of the barrier, to really test this out.....in the name of science he could dress as a seal and flap wildly on the "safe" side of the barrier, that would give massive confidence in the product, providing it all goes well of course!
They should also make a lot of noise splashing around on the inside of the barrier while conducting these tests.
Bro you got more of a chance of dying from an oyster then a shark
You should look up the word “then” and “than” 👍
@@WS_00maybe a typo.
Try to start a sentence without using ‘bro’
@@WS_00u didn’t have to comment and be a jerk
Um sharks have been getting extremely aggressive lately and attacks are becoming common. Look it up 🙄
how about just leave them alone! I swear this world keeps getting themselves into everything.. STOP!
I know right 🤦🏽♀️
How about the sharks just leave humans alone then we won’t be having this issue.
He's got something there! And I love the white caps because swimmers and boaters can easily see them too! He's gonna make a lot of money! Hope he has a patent!
Here is another idea... Open up sport fishing for bull white and tiger.
@@psychcowboy1terrible idea. My God I hope you're not in charge of anything important in life.
@@CR1888-YT everyone one earth including you about to be attacked by a shark would press a button to make all sharks extinct. eat sharks save lives. they are invisible predators attacking humans in recreation areas.
@@CR1888-YTWhat's more important, protecting the lives of humans or a growing population of apex predators? God gave us dominion over animals, not the other way around.
Texas could’ve used this today 💀
Towards the end I was wondering if they would really test it by not just chumming the water, but lure sharks with decoys from outside the barrier to inside. Will the predator instincts be interrupted or will the shark go through a little inconvenience to achieve its goal?
With all the shark attacks going on here lately the beaches need this now more than ever!! Amazing technology!!
I will be surprised if it can survive big seas ,swells and Tides.
Brilliant ! Please bring this to Florida soon ! ! Thank you !! 🌴💯🏄♀️🏖️💯
Hopefully we’re actually onto something here finally 👏
Nets need to be banned
That’s awesome!
So smart like an invisible dog fence idea.
Great job, Craig!
This is outrageous …. Keep technology AND humans OUT OF THE OCEAN!!
"Hey O'Connell! It looks to me like I've got all the shark nets!"
This is amazing!!!
Not a good idea.
the technology already exists, its called a swimming pool
Anything to keep people safe
'Anything' includes staying out of the shark's backyard.
@@DistrustHumanz Exactly. Thank you.
@@DistrustHumanzno way bra. I gotta shred these waves 🏄🏼♂️
@@MikeHoncho69420😂
@@DistrustHumanzIs the backyard knee and waist deep level water? Sharks are known to attack near the beach shore. I say keep them away from the shore. If you want to go deeper then that’s on you.
This is huge
This is awesome 👏 good luck guys
great idea, make the sharks insane 😂 Jesus christ people
You’re too beta to be talking bro and you know this.
It may confuse other marine species.... Many marine organisms are sensitive to magnetic fields... Maybe more dolphins will drift ashore... Imagine this on every beaches... electromagnetic pollution of the seas...
Let’s make a bargain, we claim the beaches and the sharks can have everything else. That’s less than 1%. I think it’s fair. 😄
About time 😊
Why don’t you use loud enough Sony sound To make the sharks scared and swim away
A fence in the ocean is crazy 😂
Thank you for doing this for them! People don’t realize that when a human is … devoured. Sharks all around the attack area are “humanely euthanized”. That’s what they did to the sharks in the Red Sea who ate that young man. Horror. But it’s their home. So thank you Mr.
Shoulda worn some sharkbanz……
Did I see duck tape on those barriers?😂😂😂
So until the sharks acclimate…humans should totally feel safe 😂
Humans also don’t need to be at every single beach
This makes no sense.
All you need is a can of Bat Shark Repellent.
I have a solution, pay a crew of dolphin to patrol the shore. Your welcome.
Smart man I thought about a metal chain linked fence to keep away from swimmers
These shark barriers should be EVERYWHERE! In the every single beach!
So what about the violent attacks on our streets. We can’t even control our own species 🤣🤣
Ocean Guardian has been doing this for close to a decade.
Orcas are the apex predator of the ocean
Much needed
well if they video came out 4 days sooner .. what happen in texas port were getting bad
This dude smart watch his clips on shark week dude knows his stuff no lie
Amazing idea
What happens when humans get those electric shocks?
I stopped the video at “sharks are the apex predator of the sea”
it looks like the barrier in ach 😆
Awesome. They don't need to be killed on nets along with other sea animals.
Thanks
This is not 'new' technology. I remember seeing this in Pop Mech magazine in the 80s. There was even a lifevest with this for sale.
What a terrible idea to start adding more junk to the beach. And to say sharks are coming closer because of warm water is just wrong because sharks are in both warm Florida and cold California waters. Walking in a city at night is more dangerous then the sharks.
Can’t call them apex predators when they get slaughtered by orcas
I'M SCARED..MOMMY HELP
Awesome!!😊
Magnetic shock swimsuit for attacks
Try on bull sharks and tiger.
Imagine the sharks start jumping over the nets lol dude just leave the ocean how it is.
At least there’s a barrier there in the first place. And if it jumps, you’d hope someone sees this and alerts the life guard or people. Better than having the shark bite someone’s limbs off or worse, kills them.
I think this is a horrible idea, it’s stopping the sharks from getting to their natural hunting areas, they follow the shoreline where the smaller fish go, if a shark comes waltzing into my living room, then obviously something needs to be done about it, but when people choose to walk into the sharks and then want it to not be there that’s a whole different ballgame, and it’s wrong😢
Nah. You act like theres only one shoreline.. theyll just go where theres less people
@@absolutelypro4612 There's people along most of these shorelines already. You also have to think about nesting turtles.
@@Hayyyward there are plenty of rocky shorelines where people do not go. This is only for the crowded sandy beaches
Sucks to be a shark then. Humans wanting
@@tobia5267 Nesting turt;es lay their eggs on those sandy beaches. NOT the rocky shorelines.
No, Orca are the apex predator of the ocean,not sharks.
Orca are AN Apex predator. There are many apex predators in the ocean depending on the species of animals being discussed. Sharks are fish, Orcas are mammals.
Why do you have to shock them though ?
This technology had been there for decades. Government just dont ivest in it
How about a magnetic swimsuit to repel them
I’m sure that a starved tiger shark will react to the magnetic suit when it’s bloodlusted and starving. That suit will be worthless.
i use old technology that guarantees safety from sharks, and its free: stay out of the ocean
Bitcoin's decentralized nature challenges traditional financial systems.
Chum is NOT sushi grade fish.
It would be awesome if this could be placed in all beaches
Finally a solid solution. Next will be a wearables!!! Oh Yes
Sharkbanz watch
Propaganda at its finest! Sharks have always came close to shore, always 🤣🤣🤣
So? That could still increase
Let’s get this deployed everywhere
Let them eat
Stay outta their fish bowl
Save the penguins
Im sorry but that is so stupid. The beach shorelines are thousands of miles.....you are really going to build thousands of miles of this net ? Absolutely pointless
It can begin targeting popular beaches. It’s quite ingenious actually.
sharks aren't that common, wouldn't it be easier to have some swimmers with an electric band? law of averages says enough will buy it and create their down decentralized forcefield.
So if it works on whit sharks, how bout all the other sharks?
I'll be in the pool.
Do not get in the water i repeat do not get in the water problem solved
It's not going to work. Anything hungry enough is going to go through without a problem. Hunger prevails all the time. United States, don't waste your money.
Seriously!!! Tbh They could’ve been did this but America would rather make new cars & cell phones every fukn year because of greed smh. Human safety was never a concern. It’s all about profits and what they can gain.
Mother Nature: It’s funeral season for Dr Craig.
You have no authority or permission from GOD to do such things.
Biggest issue is the have choked the commercial shark fisherman out of business. Now the population is skyrocketing
That's not even close to accurate, but believe it if you wish.
@@RippieFarmer factual no second hand observation
@@John06648 factual based off of what facts?
@RippieFarmer I was a commercial fisherman and was part of the governments steady pushing over reach . Have watched many lose their family business/ livelihood because of governments over reach in fishing . Now do I agree just like every real outdoorsman and fisherman. Limits /quotas need to be in place 10000% but these agencies go off almost 0 real data to push their idea of what we have out there . Especially in the water Noone has a clue what Is really out there lol . Like government saying the American red snapper is endangered um oook I can g9 to 1 spot in the gulf and load a entire boat 7 days a week for a year and not hurt the population lol .
Skyrocketing???
Based on what???
Shark populations are still far below what is considered strong for nearly all shark species
Is it called land.
Au du dead shark. That works 100% of the time. They disappear from the area as soon as they get a wiff and don't come back.
That’s there living room what’s the issues
The issue is that the sharks are biting people’s limbs off or eating them. I don’t get how you don’t know that.
How about staying out of their water
Oh that's a genius idea. Have you thought about getting that patented?
Well sure. We wouldn't want drumfy drawers to get eaten by a shark.
Just use drones
Use drones? So we’re going to have it manned daily and for how long? How do we know people will want to just sit there and fly a drone over and over again down the shore? How do we know this human won’t get tired or bored and stop watching the live feed? How much are we going to pay them along with their medical insurance, 401k, etc.. With that being said, just use the fence.
dont go over waist deep.
The shoreline is where the human lives are and where the money is...soooooo.
I guess he would have dinosaurs still roaming the earth.
I love to learn about them and see what used to roam the earth.....I have no desire to deal with T-Rex on family camp outs.....glad they're extinct.
