A 28 year-old man surfing in an area of Reunion Island, where surfing is prohibited, was killed by a shark Thursday afternoon in what was the 24th shark attack and 11th mortality on the French Island since 2011.
The death came on the same day authorities issued a call to "the greatest vigilance" in a warning about the presence of bull sharks with changing water temperatures, according to BRMTV.
"Reunion is entering a transitional period between the summer and the austral winter, with southern swell fronts sought by water sports enthusiasts, and the use of the Reunionese coast by bulldog sharks, potentially dangerous, is more important as one enters the austral winter with a seasonal cooling of the temperature of the sea water," warned the services of the State in a translated statement on BRMTV.
