Peter Smith, 64, of Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire is said to be in a serious condition following a bull shark attack close to Turtle Beach, Tobago, on Friday morning.
The bull shark attacked the 64-year-old man while he was bathing at Turtle Beach along Great Courland Bay in Trinidad and Tobago.
Officials say beach closures will allow the coastguard and Department of Fisheries to investigate the incident and "neutralise the shark threat, if possible".
