What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Galatas coast (Agia Paraskevi cemetery to Cape Kryoneri) and the islets Lazareto, Bourtzi and Artino.
Spearfishing is prohibited all year round along the Galatas shore opposite Poros, from the Agia Paraskevi cemetery to Cape Kryoneri, in a belt 800 m wide measured from the coast, and around the islets Lazareto, Bourtzi and Artino and every rocky islet in that area — all declared underwater archaeological sites / underwater historic places. Basis: the declarations published in ΦΕΚ 425 Β΄/1998 (incl. ΥΠΠΟ/ΑΡΧ/Α1/Φ43/54118/9272 for the whole Methana peninsula and the declaration covering the Artemis–Lemonodasos area, the Alyki peninsula of Poros and «όλων των νησίδων και βραχονησίδων που βρίσκονται στη θαλάσσια περιοχή της χερσονήσου Αλυκής και του όρμου Αρτέμιδος (Λαζαρέτα, Γαλένθη κ.λπ.)» plus the re-declaration of Bourtzi island), read with art. Α§2(δ) of KYA ΦΕΚ 336 Β΄/2004; listed on the Poros Port Authority's current register. NO MAP PIN: the 1998 declarations delimit their areas only by numbered points on attached 1:5,000 ΓΥΣ map sheets, so no geographic coordinate exists in the gazette.
