What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Cape Perpetua North Marine Protected Area (Oregon).
The marine protected area immediately north of the Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve, off Yachats, Lincoln County. OAR 635-012-0080(1) prohibits the "Take of any fish species"; section (2) allows only salmon trolling, crabbing, and recreational hook-and-line fishing from the bank. A speargun is none of those, so spearfishing is prohibited throughout the area.
