Queensland environmental company, Fumunda is finding success worldwide with its latest innovation in marine mammal saving technology which is set to be adopted by KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board in South Africa.

Also showing interest in the new whale-saving devices is the Western Australia Pearl Fishing Industries and samples of the new F3 Whale Pinger have also been delivered to the US National Marine Fisheries Service who are keen to trial the Pingers in Alaskan waters where large numbers of migrating Humpback whales pass by commercial fishing nets.

Bycatch is a major cetacean problem, killing an estimated 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises each year so the charity is delighted with this progress.
