Chris Lowe, professor and director of the Cal State Long Beach Shark Lab, discussed with KCAL news a new study out of Australia indicating LED lights on the bottom of surf boards may deter white shark attacks. Lowe praised the study but warned against surfers feeling too comfortable since white sharks have other means, including smell and hearing, to attack potential prey.
