Regional marine reserve (3,756 ha) along the northeast coast of Ibiza and the islet of Tagomago, established by Decreto 45/2018 (modified by Decreto 45/2024). Spearfishing (pesca submarina) and all non-specifically-authorized extraction of marine flora/fauna are prohibited.

Before you dive
License for Spain
Whether you need a license to spearfish here, and how to get one.
Apply through the fisheries authority of the relevant coastal Autonomous Community (online or in person). A medical certificate of fitness for underwater/free-diving (issued by a doctor qualified in hyperbaric/underwater medicine), or a valid federation licence covering the medical, plus suitable accident insurance, is generally required. ID (DNI for citizens; NIE/passport for foreigners) and payment of the regional fee are needed. Then install the MAPA PescaREC app, which is gated on holding an Autonomous-Community licence, and declare catches within 24 hours of the end of each session. MAPA publishes no closed species list: the app itself flags which species are declarable in the zone you are fishing. The separate 'autorización específica' for Annex II species is NOT required for the submarina mode (only for fishing from a vessel).
