Qué es esta zona
Resumen
Cómo se trata la pesca submarina en Sperm Whale Reserve (west coast offshore waters).
World's first sperm whale reserve, established by the Sperm Whale Reserve Act, 2025 (passed by Parliament 14 October 2025; Reserve Board appointed by Cabinet 24 March 2026 to implement the Act). Covers 923.3 sq km of Dominica's western territorial sea/EEZ starting 2 nautical miles offshore (Schedule 1); within the Reserve, s.22(1)(m) makes it an offence to fish - including spearfishing - without a licence issued under s.11 of the Fisheries Act, overriding the usual s.11(2) sport-fishing exemption, and vessel, tourism and cetacean-approach restrictions apply. Nearshore waters (0-2 nm), the SSMR and Cabrits NP are outside this Reserve's boundary.
