Hon Cau Marine Protected Area (Binh Thuan)
What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Hon Cau Marine Protected Area (Binh Thuan).
Marine protected area off Binh Thuan province (Cu Lao Cau island, Tuy Phong district, in/near Ca Na bay ~10 km offshore), covering ~12,500 ha (125 km2) with diverse coral reefs and sea turtles. As an MPA under Law on Fisheries Art. 7(3)(4), fishing/extraction in its strictly protected sub-zone is prohibited, so spearfishing is not allowed. (Some sources describe it as a proposed/established MPA; treat boundaries as approximate.)
