Lot Fourteen-based ESpy Ocean has developed an AI model, in partnership with the University of Adelaide and funded by the NSW Department of Fisheries, that is able to determine with ‘90 per cent accuracy’ the environmental factors influencing a shark’s behavior.
The ultimate goal is to develop a public warning system, similar to that used for bushfires, based on a low-to-high risk rating of potential for a shark attack based on their predicted behaviour.
The public can then check warnings for their favourite swim or surf spots and decide whether it’s safe to enter the water, or perhaps shelf the surfboard for another day.
