Seismologists are trying to perfect an early warning system for earthquakes.

Such a system already exists for sharks. It probably helps that the area is represented in Congress by long-time surf enthusiast he showed Gile a huge bite mark on her arm.

“The other huge bite is on my back,” she said. “So that’s part of my lat. And he actually took a chunk out of there.”

Rohrabacher says the technology will be tested along the coast in Orange County. The area has been a hot spot for sharks over the past few years.

“What we want to do is prove the technology works,” he said.

Buoys equipped with sonar will float in the ocean off Big Corona to not only detect but to measure a shark’s size.

“If a big shark comes into that area, the sonar devices will alert the lifeguard and the lifeguard will be able to get everybody out of the water.”
