LED lights could stop shark attacks

New LED camouflage can deter shark attacks, scientists say
A new light system developed by Australian scientists to mimic ocean camouflage may deter Great White Shark attacks, a new study says. Marine predators like sharks locate prey by looking for silhouettes illuminated by sunlight from above.
How LED lights could stop shark attacks
New research has found that using lights on the bottom side of a surfboard or kayak could put great white sharks off
Lights under surfboards could deter shark attacks - study
Fixing LED strip lights to the bottom of surfboards could deter attacks by great white sharks, Australian scientists say. A study conducted in Mossel Bay, South Africa involved towing seal-shaped boards fitted with different configurations of lights behind a boat to see which attracted the most attention.
Surfboard lights might deter shark attacks — but don't bet your life on it
Hart and one of his co-authors on a study recently published in Current Biology, biologist Laura Ryan, are planning to install similarly patterned LED lights on the bottoms of surfboards to see whether that can help reduce the risk of shark attacks.
Striped Lights Could Curb Shark Attacks on Surfers
Researchers found that striped LED lights on seal decoys deterred great white shark attacks by breaking up the decoy’s silhouette. This counterillumination approach could be applied to surfboards, providing a non-invasive shark deterrent.
Could lights stop shark attacks
New research reveals how LED lights on seal decoys can deter great white sharks by disrupting their hunting behaviour. The study, inspired by marine creatures that use bioluminescence, found that altering the predator's view of prey silhouettes from below could lead to non-invasive shark deterrent technology.
Lights on surfboards and wetsuits could deter shark attacks
Experiments show that illuminating the underside of a decoy seal reduces attacks by great white sharks, revealing a possible strategy to protect surfers and swimmers
How Do You Avoid a Shark Attack? The Answer Could Be... LED Lights?!
They are responsible for the majority of all shark attacks, and researchers were hoping to figure out why, and use it against them. The results of that study were published in the journal Current Biology.
Innovative light technology offers hope in reducing shark attacks
Reports of shark attacks on surfers appear in the media quite regularly. Researchers have decided to tackle the issue. Scientists from Macquarie University in New South Wales have developed a simple but effective way to deter predators.
