Inventors hope sticker deters sharks

Inventors hope sticker to deter shark attacks.:

"Two Australian inventors came up with the idea of putting a cartoon-like sticker of a shark's head on the bottom of a surfboard, to deter sharks that search for images like a seal or silhouette of a person."

Several things are becoming clear. Craig Wills can be congratulated for using his brain,time and talent for testing out his ideas and they seem to be working. We do have brains and we have a challenge to pit them against. From the interviews on TV of the shark attack victim at he weekend it was clear that the anti shark devices are a real bonus, but the thing which was most impressive is the guy who was attacked had a plan and the two who helped save him were exceptionally level headed and had a good set of strategies to implement. Survival skills can be learned. Prevention is always better and cheaper and less painful than cure, but we need to look at our strategies for helping and save ourselves, not just from shark attacks, but other likely scenarios. The two guys were of real help because they had some very sensible techniques which they felt confident in implementing. Another case where a community approach to the problem will really help, I think.
