What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at National parks and game reserves under the Wild Life Conservation and National Parks Act 2003 (e.g. Boma, Badingilo, Nimule, Southern National Park).
South Sudan maintains 19 wildlife protected areas (six national parks and 13 game reserves) under the Wild Life Conservation and National Parks Act 2003, several of which (such as Nimule on the White Nile, and the seasonal wetlands of Boma and Badingilo) include aquatic habitats. The Act governs conservation and the taking of wildlife in these protected areas; recreational spearfishing within national parks is not a permitted activity.
