Greenland · Spearfishing zone
Northeast Greenland National Park
What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Northeast Greenland National Park.
World's largest national park (~972,000 km2) covering northern and northeastern Greenland and its coast. Hunting and fishing are not allowed within the park; several coastal and sea areas inside the park are designated strictly protected where access and all non-scientific activities are prohibited. Spearfishing (already not a permitted method anywhere in Greenland) is therefore additionally barred here. Representative point near the Daneborg area on the park's east coast.

License for Greenland
Whether you need a license to spearfish here, and how to get one.
Visitors transfer the fee to the Ministry of Fisheries, Hunting, Agriculture and Self-sufficiency's bank account (Gronlandsbanken) with a prescribed reference text; the bank money-transfer receipt is the personal licence. Many tourist offices/operators can also issue licences paid at a local bank or post office. Salmon recreational licence is applied for online with MitID or via local citizen service (Sullissivik).
