    The headline makes it sound like a tourist got bitten while vacationing on the island(s). It was a sailor, 500km away from the islands, so basically the open ocean.

      The woman was sailing in a catamaran some 278 nautical miles (more than 500 kilometers) southwest of the island of Gran Canaria when the shark struck.

      Was she on an electric boat at the time? Because if so, now we know the answer.
