Build 'SharkShield AI'—a real-time, AI-powered shark detection and deterrent network. The platform would: 1) Deploy underwater IoT sensors (sonar, hydrophones) to detect shark bioacoustics and movements; 2) Use edge AI to distinguish sharks from other marine life (e.g., whales, dolphins); 3) Integrate with drones and buoys to deploy non-invasive deterrents (e.g., low-frequency audio waves proven to repel sharks); 4) Provide a public dashboard for swimmers and councils to monitor real-time alerts. Monetization via council contracts ($1M/year), tourism partnerships, and carbon credit funding (via ecosystem protection incentives).
