    The fences are strung below the water's surface and cost the region a million Euros a year to maintain. [12] A 610m net, protecting a bathing area of 84,000sq m, has been installed off Boucan Canot and a 500m net has been installed off Roches Noires. [13] The shark nets are subject to damage from heavy swells. [13]

    Due to boating activity, the nets also float 4 metres or more below the surface and do not connect with the shoreline (excluding Hong Kong's shark barrier nets) thus allowing sharks the opportunity to swim over and around nets. Shark nets can cost A$1 million or A$20,000 per beach per year. [10]

  4. Net (polyhedron) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_(polyhedron)

    The shortest path over the surface between two points on the surface of a polyhedron corresponds to a straight line on a suitable net for the subset of faces touched by the path. The net has to be such that the straight line is fully within it, and one may have to consider several nets to see which gives the shortest path.

  5. Surface area - Wikipedia

    A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

    Triangulation of an implicit surface of genus 3 Triangulation of a parametric surface (Monkey Saddle) Triangulation of a surface means a net of triangles, which covers a given surface partly or totally, or; the procedure of generating the points and triangles of such a net of triangles.

  8. Fishing net - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_net

    Tangle nets, also known as tooth nets, are similar to gillnets except they have a smaller mesh size designed to catch fish by the teeth or upper jaw bone instead of by the gills. [33] Trammel: Demersal species, fish and crustaceans. A trammel is a fishing net with three layers of netting that is used to entangle fish or crustacea. [34]
