Electric shield to deter sharks

BBC NEWS | World | Africa | Electric shield to deter sharks:

"Personal devices have been on sale to divers, surfers and swimmers for the past three years, Mr Dhai said, but now they are working on erecting a string of them to protect an entire beach."

This is great news and a fantastic use of our modern technology. I hope the trials go well in South Africa but apparently Australia has helped with the technology and we used a prototype at the Sydney Olympics. We need to do something to protect our swimmers at the beach because most of us avoided it for the few hot days we had in summer. Wasn't a good summer at the beaches at all and when we can prevent disaster with the knowledge we have, why not?
