Australian surfers have a bit more interest in deterring shark attacks than your typical American board rider — there have been five fatal attacks in Western Australia this year alone, and the state has set aside almost $7 million to fight back, including $2 million to kill them. Now Aussie researchers are working on a wetsuit that makes surfers look a lot less like seals, the favorite breakfast, lunch, and dinner of great whites and other predators, in hopes the man in the grey suit will look elsewhere for sustenance.

The key lies with sharks’ vision: They don’t see color, only shades of black and white, according to research by a joint team from the University of Western Australia and Queensland University. So the scientists are looking at creating a wetsuit pattern that would trick the sharks into thinking surfers were something else.

“It makes the wearer appear obnoxious, poisonous, or unattractive to the shark, somewhat like a sea snake,” said UWA Professor Shaun Collin. “Some species do not typically target these types of patterns on other animals.”

Shark deterrence has a long history of experimentation, from surfers drawing eyes on their boards to appear as fellow predators to electronic anti-shark devices attached to leashes to wetsuits that supposedly shield the sound of a heart beating. Nothing has proven effective, but maybe the wetsuit will tip the odds. At the very least, says Collins, it’s better than killing.

“The idea of deterring sharks is really where we would like to put all of our energies and believe that’s where it should be, rather than culling or killing sharks who are coming to close into shore,” he said. “It’s very difficult to identify a particular shark, whether it’s before or after an attack. They all look very similar from the surface.”
