New TECH: A shark sends a twitter message......so incredible!!!

Western Australia is now considered the world's deadliest place for shark attacks and since 2012 six people have been killed - with the number of attacks said to be rising.
In a bid to solve this problem, scientists from the area have fitted 320 sharks with special transmitters that track the animals’ movements.

If a tagged shark swims within a kilometre of any beach along the west coast, a receiver will trigger an alert, which then generates an automatic warning tweet.



Due to a rise in shark attacks off the coast of Western Australia, scientists have fitted 320 sharks in the area, including tiger sharks, pictured, with transmitters. If a tagged shark swims within a kilometre of a beach an alert is triggered. This then generates an automatic warning tweet

HOW DOES THE SYSTEM WORK?
Australian scientists fitted 320 sharks, including tiger sharks, great whites and bronze whaler sharks, with transmitters that track the animals' movements.

If a tagged shark swims within a kilometre of any beach along the west coast, a receiver in the water triggers an alert.
This, in turn, generates an automatic warning tweet containing the breed of the shark as well as the time it triggered the alarm and the shark’s approximate location.

This location is based on which receiver was triggered.
The transmitters were fitted by the Surf Life Saving Western Australia's (SLSWA) group and the tweet is sent from the company’s Twitter feed.
