Future Oceans Net Shield Whale Pingers save your gear and protect whales. Whale Pingers send out an alerting signal so Humpback whales move away from your gear. This reduces the risk of entanglement creating a safer situation for everyone involved.

Future Oceans Whale Pingers include the following important features:

• Hands-free operation. Turns on and off instantly as Pinger enters and leaves the water.
• Smallest, lightest safest Whale Pinger on the market.
• Combining an external copolymer carrier with super tough internal thermoplastic polymer housing with optimized engineering, we offer the world’s toughest most reliable Whale Pinger.
• The internal electronic capsule is locked inside the external housing – the internal electronic capsule cannot fall out while Whale Pinger is attached to the net, unlike competitors’ products.
• Our Whale Pingers do not affect the shape of your net or your fishing.
• Whale Pingers are easily and quickly attached to net ropes of all size. No need to thread ropes through our casing means faster, easier attaching and removing.
