A British tourist was attacked by a shark on Friday at Turtle Beach on the Caribbean island of Tobago, leaving the man critically injured and fighting for his life.
The victim was taken to an intensive care unit after the attack, officials said, according to the Associated Press (AP).
The government of Trinidad and Tobago has closed seven beaches along the island’s northwest coast and the Buccoo Reef marine park due to shark sightings in the area.
This will allow the coast guard and the fisheries department to investigate the incident and “neutralise the shark threat if possible”.
Shark attacks are rare, according to the International Shark Attack File. Last year, there were 69 unprovoked attacks worldwide, which resulted in 14 fatalities and 22 injuries.
