Shark Proximity Alerts by SMS

by Mark Nagurski

in Technology

Scientists in Western Australia have tagged over 70 sharks as part of trial program to help protect bathers. Life guards on the beach will be sent an SMS alert when a shark gets just a little too close for comfort.

Although not quite as dangerous, it would be easy to see a similar concept being used to track grazing animals or even wandering pets (via an iPhone or Twitter app perhaps).
