Shark Safe Barrier™

Protecting People and Marine Biodiversity with Sustainable Innovation SharkSafe Barrier™

Waves crash, storms rage, and yet the ocean never stops being beautiful indeed, the ocean is an unpredictable yet breathtaking force that sustains life. But, for coastal communities, marine recreation-based economies, one challenge remains: how to achieve optimal human safety without compromising marine biodiversity.

The fear of shark attacks can have a profound effect on the local economy.
That’s where SharkSafe Barrier™ brings its groundbreaking non-lethal shark control measures.

It’s neither a net nor a culling program.

It’s the world’s first eco-friendly shark deterrent system, proven to deter shark-human encounters while protecting ocean biodiversity.

No killing. No damage just science and sustainability-backed design to protect people and oceans.
Since we added the SharkSafe, I feel so much better letting my kids kayak off our deck.
It keeps them safe and we didn’t have to harm any marine life to get that peace of mind. Truly amazing technology!

What Is SharkSafe Barrier™?

The SharkSafe Barrier™ is a patented South-African marine protection technology developed by a team of passionate marine biologists, coastal engineers, and shark behavior specialists.


To revolutionize shark management worldwide, SharkSafe Barrier™ combines two natural deterrents visual simulation and magnetic fields to safely repel sharks from designated areas, creating safer swimming areas while protecting marine ecosystems.

Each unit is built from recyclable plastic tubes and ceramic magnets, engineered to endure strong ocean currents for decades.

The system functions as both a safety barrier and an artificial reef, encouraging biodiversity while securing coastlines.

How It Works: Nature Meets Technology

How the SharkSafe Barrier™ Works

Together, these elements, with a robust and eco-friendly design, build an invisible wall of protection – effective even in low visibility and turbulent waters, ensuring 100% success against bull sharks and white sharks.

Biomimicry - Nature-Inspired Engineering that works with marine instinct

The barrier replicates the appearance of kelp forests, which sharks instinctively avoid.

This visual cue is a natural deterrent that keeps predators at a distance without force or harm.

Magnetic Field
Shark-Specific Protection

Built-in barium ferrite magnets create a magnetic field that overwhelms a shark’s electromagnetic senses.

This harmless sensory overload causes sharks to turn away, thereby preventing them from entering protected zones.

A Better Way to Protect and Coexist

Why SharkSafe Barrier™ is different

Traditional methods, such as nets and drumlines, were designed for control, not coexistence. With the deployment of those methods, more than 50% of the marine animals killed are not sharks.

The SharkSafe Barrier™ offers a better way forward:

Non-lethal and species-specific

Targets only sharks; no other marine animals are harmed.

Eco-friendly materials

Recyclable plastic and long-life magnets that don’t corrode.

Low maintenance

No electricity required, works effectively with minimal servicing and no active supervision.
