    How does it work? Ocean Guardian devices generate a protective electric field which is detected by a shark via its short range sensory receptors called Ampullae of Lorenzini. These Ampullae of Lorenzini are found on the snouts of all sharks.
  • Page 4 It also has no effect on other marine creatures. IMPORTANT: Ocean Guardian devices do NOT attract sharks. This is a myth and independent scientific research has shown that electrical deterrents do not attract sharks. As electrical currents can only travel very short distances through water, the Ocean Guardian creates only a very localized electrical field.
