What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Lamlash Bay No Take Zone (Isle of Arran).
Scotland's first community-led No Take Zone, established 2008 in Lamlash Bay on the south-east coast of the Isle of Arran (Firth of Clyde), covering about 2.67 km2 of waters, seabed and shore. No fish or shellfish (and therefore no spearfishing) may be taken; it now sits within the wider South Arran MPA.
