Prohibited zonenational 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.
