What this zone is

Overview

How spearfishing is treated at Furoya no-take zone, Tvedestrand (Forbudssone Furoya).

Norway's first total no-take marine zone, established in Tvedestrand municipality (Agder/Skagerrak) in 2012 and continued under the conservation-zone regulation. All forms of fishing are prohibited inside the Furoya zone (except a small designated children's crab area), which by definition bans spearfishing. The point is near Hestoya/Furoya, the reference position cited in the boundary description.
