What this zone is

Overview

How spearfishing is treated at Divjakë-Karavasta National Park.

National park on the Adriatic coast of central Albania (Fier County), ~22,389 ha. Protects the Karavasta Lagoon (one of the largest in the Mediterranean, separated from the Adriatic by a sandbar), sandy beaches and pine forest; a Ramsar wetland of international importance and a Dalmatian pelican breeding site. As a national park its lagoon and coastal waters are protected; fishing is regulated and spearfishing should be treated as restricted/prohibited. Note: no verbatim fishing/spearfishing ban was located in the source; prohibition status is inferred from national-park status.
