    The document describes the Shark Monitoring Network in Perth, Western Australia which uses acoustic receivers along the coast and offshore to detect when tagged sharks swim within 400-500 meters. Yellow dots on the map indicate active receivers that transmit detection data via satellite to be processed, while white dots are passive receivers that store data until recovered for download.

    Shark detections occur when an acoustically-tagged shark swims within approximately 400-500 metres of a receiver. Yellow dots indicate satellite-linked active acoustic receivers (VR4G). Detection data are transmitted via satellite to Department of Fisheries, where they are processed for notification. White dots indicate passive sub-sea acoustic receivers (VR2W). Detection data are not transmitted; the information is stored on the unit. These receivers need to be recovered periodically so that the stored data can be downloaded and receivers serviced.
