Lights on Surfboards Could Stop Sharks

Australian scientists have found that attaching LED lights to the bottom of surfboards could help prevent great white shark attacks.

They tested this theory by towing fake seals with different lights behind a boat in South Africa.

The lights distorted the shape of the fake seals, making them less visible to the sharks in the sunlight.

This research could lead to a new way to protect surfers from sharks without using nets or drones.
