Learn English: Using Lights to Deter Shark Attacks (normal)

Scientists are investigating if attaching LED lights to surfboards can reduce the risk of great white shark attacks.

They conducted an experiment in South Africa, using fake seals with different light configurations.

The results showed that bright, horizontal lights made the fake seals less attractive to the sharks.

This suggests that modifying the silhouette of a surfer could be a non-invasive way to protect them from sharks.
