Área Natural Protegida Punta Bermeja (La Lobería)
What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Área Natural Protegida Punta Bermeja (La Lobería).
Provincial protected area on the Atlantic coast of Río Negro, ~45 km from Viedma, ~1,900 ha (~600 ha terrestrial). Protects a major single-haired sea lion (Otaria flavescens) colony. IUCN Category VI; established 1971 (provincial law 898, boundaries set by Decree 1862/2005). Includes a 'zona intangible' (scientific-use untouchable zone), a restricted-use zone and a multiple-use zone. Spearfishing/extraction is incompatible with the reserve's protection regime. NOTE: the cited source does NOT mention Resolution 999/2015's shark/ray/chimaera fishing ban — that claim is unverified against this source.
