Spanish Coastguards are said to have informed their Moroccan counterparts as well as UK coastguards because of the origin of the catamaran.
A woman has died after being attacked by a shark on a catamaran that had sailed out into the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Islands.
She was officially pronounced dead after arriving at Doctor Negrin Hospital in the Gran Canaria capital Las Palmas on September 16. The catamaran she was a crew member of has been named as British-flagged vessel Dalliance Chichester, which had left the Spanish holiday island on September 14, reports the Mirror.
