Shares in Shark Mitigation Systems (SMS) surged following the news which will result in a number of the Clever Buoys being strategically placed around the bay
during the tournament to be held next month.
The smart buoys use sonar transducers to scan nearby water for marine life, and alert operators in real-time to any threat posed by a nearby shark, while
SMS also collaborated with the University of Western Australia (UWA) to design a
patterned wetsuit which is perceived as dangerous and unpalatable to sharks.
SMS co-founder Craig Anderson said recent developments in shark deterrent technology could make waters safer for everyone in the future, but said interest
from the professional surfing circuit was a great leap forward for competitor
safety.
"We are very excited to be working with the pro surfing league to showcase our technology," Anderson told News Corp on Wednesday.
"This will help place our technology on the world stage, showing what it can do to keep surfers and other ocean users safe in the water."
It's the first time the company's products will be used internationally, after a local trial was deemed "highly successful" earlier this year.
The technology could also be implemented to protect hobby surfers, who are increasingly at-risk of shark attack -- particularly in Australia.
In the last month alone, two people have been attacked and killed by sharks in the Australian state of Western Australia (WA). Enditem
GENEVA http://www.montrealcanadiensteamstore.com/adidas-jordie-benn-jersey , Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- A Swiss army PC-7 aircraft has crashed in the Schreckhorn
region of the Bernese Alps in the west of Switzerland, head of the country's air
force Aldo Schellenberg said on Tuesday.
Speaking at a media conference, Schellenberg did not provide information about the fate of the pilot http://www.montrealcanadiensteamstore.com/adidas-jonathan-drouin-jersey , the Swiss News Agency reported.
The small Pilatus propeller plane and pilot took off from the Payerne air base in canton Vaud just after at 8 a.m. local time on Tuesday, but did not land
in the southern Swiss town of Locarno on the border with Italy at the expected
time one hour later.
The flight did not involve active combat training but was intended to transport the aircraft to Locarno, according to the army.
A search was underway for the plane and pilot http://www.montrealcanadiensteamstore.com/adidas-joe-morrow-jersey , led by four helicopter rescue teams.
The PC-7 is a type of propeller plane designed in the 1970s by Swiss company Pilatus Aircraft.

BERLIN http://www.montrealcanadiensteamstore.com/adidas-jeremiah-addison-jersey , Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) has criticized
Hungary sharply on Tuesday for refusing to abide by a European Court of Justice
(ECJ) ruling concerning the distribution of refugees amongst European Union (EU)
member states.
"It is unacceptable that a government says it is not interested in a ruling of the European Court of Justice," Merkel told the newspaper "Berliner Zeitung."
The ECJ recently ruled against a joint plea by Slovakia and Hungary to prevent the resettlement of refugees in their countries from other EU states
under a previously agreed quota.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban responded by saying that he "took note" of the decision, but signalled his unwillingness to abide by it.
According to Orban http://www.montrealcanadiensteamstore.com/adidas-jeff-petry-jersey , the ruling did not mean that Hungarians had to accept with whom they live
together, as this is something which the Hungarians will decide.
For Merkel, such intransigence in the face of a ruling by the EU's foremost judicial authority could ultimately lead to excluding Hungary from the bloc.
When asked by "Berliner Zeitung" whether the country would have to leave the EU http://www.montrealcanadiensteamstore.com/adidas-jean-beliveau-jersey , the German leader said Hungary's position touches "an elementary question in
Europe," because Europe for her is "a space governed by the rule of law." "We
will hold discussions at the European Council in October," she said.
The Chancellor also emphasized that there was wide agreement amongst most EU members on how to react to the refugee crisis.
"When it comes to the fair distribution of refugees in Europe there are only three to four out of currently 28 member states which are vehemently
opposed http://www.montrealcanadiensteamstore.com/adidas-jacques-plante-jersey ," Merkel said.
"All other states have declared a willingness to do their part, and following the European Court of Justice's ruling even the Slovakian prime minister is
recalibrating his position," she noted.
