What this zone is

Overview

How spearfishing is treated at Coastal reefs and lagoons (general).

Breath-hold spearfishing is generally permitted in coastal waters and reefs for subsistence/recreation. Most inshore waters lie within a registered qoliqoli; visitors should obtain community/chief consent and a local guide, and members of the owning community do not need a permit when using a spear.
