What this zone is

Overview

How spearfishing is treated at Parque Nacional Islas Marietas.

Marine national park off Bahia de Banderas, Nayarit (Isla Larga and Isla Redonda). Commercial and sport-recreational fishing in any form are strictly prohibited in the park's core zones, and Regla 52 bans spearfishing ('pesca [...] submarina') throughout the restricted-use and public-use subzones around both islands; sport fishing remains allowed only in the outer sustainable-use subzone.
