A geofenced autonomous aquatic drone for repelling sharks from a shoreline. The drone employs a buoyant housing resembling a portion of a predator such as an orca whale. A battery positioned within the drone is recharged through a floating inductive charging station. A propulsion system controlled a microprocessor receives location information via DGPS for providing a geofence around an area to be patrolled. A sonar device is constructed and arranged to detect sharks. The drone travels within the geofence area, monitored by the DGPS receiver and a solution of shark repellant is dispensed.
