New LED Light System May Help Deter Shark Attacks

Australian scientists have developed an innovative light system that mimics the camouflage strategies of marine predators to deter Great White Shark attacks, according to a recent study. Great White Sharks typically identify prey by their silhouettes, which appear as dark shapes against the sunlit water when viewed from below. To counteract this, researchers tested seal decoys equipped with LED lights in Mossel Bay, South Africa, finding that brighter lights significantly reduced shark interactions. This research highlights how altering silhouettes can influence predatory behavior, paving the way for potential non-invasive shark deterrent technologies to enhance human safety in ocean waters. Ongoing tests are exploring the effectiveness of integrating LED lights into surfboards as an additional protective measure.
