An Efficient Multi-Objective White Shark Algorithm. [PDF]
Biomimetics (Basel)To balance the diversity and stringency of Pareto solutions in multi-objective optimization, this paper introduces a multi-objective White Shark Optimization algorithm (MONSWSO) tailored for multi-objective optimization. MONSWSO integrates non-dominated sorting and crowding distance into the White Shark Optimization framework to select the optimal ...

Cannot see the great white shark? Bait for it. [PDF]
Conserv Physiol, 2020 [Extract] Cage diving to view great white sharks and other iconic marine mega-fauna is a huge part of the marine wildlife tourism industry. But cage diving is considered a double-edged sword. On one hand, it fosters positive conservation ethics in tourists and raises awareness.

Predicting potential future reduction in shark bites on people [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Despite the low chance of a person being bitten by a shark, there are serious associated costs. Electronic deterrents are currently the only types of personal deterrent with empirical evidence of a substantial reduction in the probability of being bitten
