New LED camouflage can deter shark attacks, scientists say

  • Researchers from Macquarie University in New South Wales tested LED lights on surfboards to potentially prevent great white shark attacks, as published in Current Biology.
  • The study found great white sharks were less attracted to the most conspicuous lights, which is interesting because other species are usually drawn to bright objects.
  • Great white sharks, responsible for most human shark-bite fatalities, often attack from beneath, according to lead researcher Laura Ryan.
