New Research Suggests LED Lights May Help Deter Great White Shark Attacks

A research team is currently testing a surfboard prototype equipped with integrated lighting, aiming to enhance surfer safety by potentially deterring sharks. Dr. Ryan, a member of the team, acknowledges that surfers are particular about their boards and emphasizes the importance of usability. While initial findings are promising, further research is needed to investigate the lights’ impact on shark behavior, particularly concerning non-moving decoys and their effectiveness against various shark species. If successful, this innovation could significantly reduce the risk of shark attacks on surfers and participants of other board sports.
