Port de Longoni (port administrative limits)
What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Port de Longoni (port administrative limits).
Pursuant to Article R5333-24 of the French Code des transports, fishing is prohibited within the administrative limits of the port unless the port's particular regulation provides otherwise or an exceptional authorisation is granted by the port authority; collecting plants, shellfish and other marine animals there is also prohibited (Article 25 of the arrete prefectoral du 28 juin 2018). Longoni is the only commercial port of Mayotte (Koungou, north-east coast); coordinates are the port's location. NOTE: the arrete text refers generically to 'le port' and does not name Longoni; the identification of Longoni is a sound inference because it is Mayotte's sole commercial port.
