Thereβs a new #innovation on the block for tackling #wildlife #bycatch! Created by @FishtekMarine@twitter.com & trialled by @Phil_D_Doherty@twitter.com, @BrendanGodley@twitter.com &
@ExeterMarine@twitter.com, the SharkGuard emits electrical pulses to keep #sharks & #rays away from #longline hooks π https://buff.ly/3UfK8Zo
