Bright Surfboard Lights Could Reduce Shark Attacks, Study Suggests
Australian researchers have found that wrapping seal-shaped decoys in bright LED lights can deter great white sharks by disrupting their silhouette, a technique they plan to test on surfboards. While previous shark deterrents have shown mixed results, this new approach aims to reduce shark attacks by making surfers less visible to sharks. However, experts caution against over-reliance on such technology, as sharks use multiple senses to detect prey and are generally not interested in humans.
