Recreational and sports spearfishing ('pesca submarina') is legally recognised and permitted in Angola, but tightly regulated by the Regulation on Recreational and Sports Fishing (Presidential Decree 146/13, 30 Sep 2013), issued under the Law on Aquatic Biological Resources (Law 6-A/04). Spearfishing may be practised only in free-diving / apnea with mask and snorkel; the use of self-contained breathing apparatus (scuba / escafandro autónomo) for spearfishing is prohibited (it is allowed only for exploration, science and archaeology under individual ministerial authorisation). An annual personal, non-transferable licence issued by the Ministry of Fisheries is required for any recreational/sports fishing. Practitioners must be 18+ (nationals and foreigners alike). Recreational spearfishing is limited to 3 specimens/day (max 50 kg total) plus a maximum of 2 lobsters/crayfish/spider-crabs per fisher/day. Spearfishing is banned within 100 m of fishing nets/boats, within 50 m of bathing beaches, and within 20 m of other fishers; spears propelled by chemical/explosive detonation, poison or corrosive substances, or compressed gas (except CO2 recharge) are prohibited, as is the killing of seabirds. Selling the catch is forbidden. Foreign tourists may take part in organised competitions on payment of a fee.

Σημειώσεις ερευνητή
Primary, source-backed record. Angola explicitly regulates recreational/sports spearfishing ('pesca submarina') under Presidential Decree 146/13 (2013), made under Law 6-A/04 (Lei dos Recursos Biologicos Aquaticos, 2004). Status is RESTRICTED rather than freely allowed: spearfishing is legal but only in free-diving/apnea (scuba prohibited for it), requires an annual personal Ministry of Fisheries licence, is subject to strict daily catch limits (3 fish/50 kg + max 2 crustaceans), minimum distances from nets, boats, bathing beaches and other fishers, a ban on explosive/poison/compressed-gas-propelled spears (CO2 recharge excepted), and a ban on selling the catch. Foreigners aged 18+ may participate, with fees for competitions. Verbatim Portuguese law text was retrieved from the official lex.ao rendering of the Diario da Republica. Cost of the licence was not published on the consulted sources (marked unknown). The seasons in Art. 10 are framed around competitions (pelagic Oct-Apr, demersal Jun-Aug); there is no general year-round closed season for recreational free-dive spearfishing in the Decree, but species/zone-specific closures may exist under Law 6-A/04 and its implementing regulations. Iona National Park has a significant protected Atlantic coastline (~160-200 km) and is listed as a prohibited/restricted marine zone; its coordinates are approximate (centroid of the coastal park area). For freshwater/continental waters, the Regulamento da Pesca Continental and Lei das Aguas (Lei 6/02) also apply (Art. 2.º).
