Shark Tech for LA 2028 Olympics | Wilmington News
Description
Olympics 2028 in LA is sparking a high-tech shark surveillance revolution: scientists are building a solar-powered robot boat that spots tagged sharks, collects DNA samples, and deploys drones for aerial intel—giving lifeguards real-time data to keep swimmers safe without panic. This isn’t about fear, but smart, proactive ocean monitoring, built on years of shark tagging and drone tech. With funding running out, the project’s future hangs in the balance—but the goal is clear: protect both athletes and beachgoers while coexisting with sharks, using tech to turn a global spotlight into lasting safety.
