A surfer has been killed in a shark attack off the island of Reunion. He was surfing in a 'banned area' in the Indian Ocean and 'ignored warnings' authorities had issued, the Mirror reported. A sharp increase in shark attacks on Reunion since 2011 has been dubbed locally the 'shark crisis' and prompted authorities to step up alert systems. It is the 24th shark attack recorded since 2011 on the island, which is French territory. It is the 24th shark attack recorded since 2011 on the island, which is French territory
