What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena — Zona Ma di tutela integrale (Isola Mortorio).
Marine integral-protection zone (zona Ma) around Isola Mortorio in the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park. All professional and sport fishing 'con qualunque mezzo esercitata' is banned in every zona Ma by Annex A, art. 1 of D.P.R. 17 maggio 1996, and the park regulation separately prohibits stopping, navigating, transiting, anchoring and sport fishing in the Mortorio zona Ma. Spearfishing is allowed in the park only in zone Mb and only to a restricted resident group, so it is unlawful here.
