Three orcas attacked the Dutch sailing team JAJO during a leg of the Ocean Race on Thursday. The team managed to film the killer whales banging their heads against the rudders of their sailing yacht. Luckily, the damage was limited, and the sailors and orcas all escaped the incident unharmed.
I’m wondering if there’s any easy deterent that can be used. For sharks a simple low electric field can be used to keep them away due to their sense organ, but can a noise or electric field drive off Orcas without hurting them? There’s got to be some research going on right now about it with all the attacks that have happened.
