Cape Greco / Cavo Greco Marine Protected Area
What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Cape Greco / Cavo Greco Marine Protected Area.
Marine protected area at the south-eastern tip of Cyprus (Cavo Greco; also part of Natura 2000 site CY3000005). CONFIRMED by the official DFMR speargun-licence terms: fishing by any means and the passage or anchoring of vessels are prohibited in the Cape Greco marine protected area, established by K.D.P. 115/2018 - so recreational spearfishing is not permitted here. (An earlier secondary-only caveat has been resolved by this primary source.)
