A new light system developed by Australian scientists to mimic ocean camouflage may deter Great White Shark attacks, a new study says. Marine predators like sharks locate prey by looking for silhouettes illuminated by sunlight from above.

Scientists from Macquarie University in New South Wales have developed a simple but effective way to deter these predators.

A study by Australian researchers found that LED lighting affixed to the underside of a surfboard might be able to deter shark bites.
