What makes Clever Buoy so clever?

Answer: It detects sharks.

A new buoy – called Clever Buoy – was developed by Shark Attack Mitigation Systems to detect sharks and alert lifeguards of their presence.

The buoy uses object recognition software to detect underwater animals and their movement patterns to reveal sharks longer than six and a half feet. When implemented, the buoy would use Australia’s Optus network and Google Plus as its distribution platform. The device is to be powered by solar panels or other self-sustaining methods.
