360 PR Secure Shark Shield PR Account
Announcement posted by 360PR 02 Feb 2015
Today, we are very excited to announce that 360 PR will be representing the public relations for Shark Shield, the world’s only proven and independently tested electrical shark deterrent designed to reduce the risk of an unwanted shark encounter.
The Shark Shield range of electrical shark deterrents are the result of over twenty years of scientific research by some of the world’s leading experts in sharks. Scientific tests of the Shark Shield, conducted using bait to attract sharks have shown that the Shark Shield reduces the chance of the shark moving closer than several feet from the device.
The technology behind Shark Shield devices sends pulses from the electrodes that interfere with the shark’s electroreceptor system, located in the shark’s snout. This results in muscular spasms and levels of discomfort to the shark, but does not harm it – Deterring it from coming too close.
Lindsay Lyon, Director of Shark Shield says, “We are focused on the environmental welfare of the ocean and its inhabitants. We believe that Shark Shield can reduce the culling of sharks directly by ultimately replacing shark nets, and indirectly by protecting all types of ocean users. These devices have no long-term effect on sharks or indeed any other creature.
“Shark Shield is increasing the levels of participation in water sports and we help make peoples working environment much safer – we provide peace of mind for individuals, families and employees so everyone can enjoy the world’s oceans,” said Lindsay.
