Clever Buoy a Finalist in the Australian Engineering Excellence Awards for Newcastle Division
Clever Buoy has been accepted as a finalist in the Australian Engineering Excellence Awards for Newcastle Division.
Clever Buoy is a breakthrough near shore shark detection and warning system designed to be deployed at beaches that have a potential threat of shark attack. Clever Buoy is a smart ocean buoy that detects large swimming objects, like sharks, and sends real-time valuable information to lifeguards on the beach.
The technology utilises a combination of newly developed sonar interrogation software and real time communications that will provide critical warning systems to beach users and vital information to shark researchers around the globe.
The Australian Engineering Excellence Awards (AEEA) Newcastle 2016 aim to inspire and encourage engineers to achieve world’s best practice through teamwork, innovation and technical excellence. They also highlight the invaluable contribuion engineers make to the economy, community and the environment.
