Our scientists used the semiochemicals in our product to reduce shark by-catch by 71% in a government grant initiative.
Scientists estimated that if our semiochemicals are applied globally then 4,258,080 – 8,279,600 sharks a year will be saved.
The world wide environmental impact potential is highlighted in this Infograph
An Agency under the U.S. Department of Commerce released these findings in a report to Congress: NOAA Report
A 5 year study concluded consistent, effective shark repellent results.
A 5 year field trial on SharkTec’s technology proved to repel 2 species of sharks 100% of the time within 1 minute of local dispersion of our product.
The findings were published in the scientific journal Ocean & Coastal Management.
Published findings can be located at: Ocean & Coastal Management
Verified field testing on numerous shark species
15 species have proven to be effectively repelled by the semiochemicals in SharkTec’s product.
Additional testing on more shark species is in progress
