What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Bridgetown Deep Water Harbour (Port of Bridgetown) & the Careenage.
Under the Barbados Harbours Regulations, 1961 (Cap. 285B), reg. 209(2) (as amended 1978/151), no person may bathe within the Deep Water Harbour or the Careenage, and offenders may be removed by port staff or police; Schedule reg. 13 additionally bars fishing boats from the Inner Basin and Careenage without a permit. Any in-water activity, including spearfishing, is therefore excluded from the Port of Bridgetown area.
