Abstract

See full text

An improved exclusion barrier including a plurality of elongate members extending in a generally upright condition between a sea floor and a sea surface. The elongate members are improved to provide a more uniform surface area for the prevention of sharks passing through upper portions of the barrier and maximizing the exclusion capabilities of the overall barrier network. The elongate members include, in addition to permanent magnets, hydro-electric power generation mechanisms for powering electro-magnets within the elongate members to produce a stronger electro-magnetic deterrent field across the barrier network, and also include telescoping mechanisms to allow for a variance in length of each member in coordination with changing wave and water levels and to provide additional pump action for hydro-electric power generation within each elongate member. The exclusion barrier is also secured to the sea floor by an anchoring base having evenly spaced anchoring locations.
