License for Turks and Caicos Islands
Whether you need a license to spearfish here, and how to get one.
Apply to the Department of Environment and Coastal Resources (DECR) / Department of Fisheries and Marine Resources Management (offices on South Dock Road, Providenciales; also Grand Turk and South Caicos). Many fishing charters obtain the recreational licence on the client's behalf. Lionfish licences can only be purchased in person at the Department of Fisheries office.
