Alexandre Naussance, 26, who was once employed as a shark spotter by a surfing association, was attacked while bodyboarding off the northeast coast of the French territory in the Indian Ocean.
He was pulled out of the water by fishermen but pronounced dead after the animal bit through a major artery in his leg.
"This accident happened even though swimming and other water sports are forbidden in this area," the local government office said in a statement.
It is reported young people had been there for several days, despite being warned by locals of a shark.
