Central African Republic
Africa · Middle Africa
The Central African Republic is landlocked, so there is no marine spearfishing; only freshwater (inland) fishing is possible, in rivers, lakes, ponds, floodplains and other water bodies. Fishing is governed by Loi N° 20.944 portant Code de la Pêche et de l'Aquaculture de la République Centrafricaine, promulgated on 6 August 2020 by President Faustin-Archange Touadéra (replacing the earlier Ordonnance n° 71-90 of 6 August 1971). The Code recognises 'pêche sportive' (recreational, non-commercial fishing) and requires a permit for it, but it does NOT explicitly mention underwater fishing, spearguns, harpoons or 'fusil sous-marin'. The Code prohibits a list of destructive fishing methods (toxic substances, explosives and firearms, electrocution, small-mesh nets, beating/'battage'); the use of a harpoon or speargun is not named among either the authorised or the prohibited gear, so its legality is undetermined in the primary text. Inland fishing is reserved to nationals (Art.20) except under international agreement, sport-fishing requires a ministerial permit (Art.27), and the Minister in charge of fisheries may set closed seasons, prohibited zones and prohibited techniques by regulation (Art.21). No specific spearfishing rule, season or zone could be located. Confidence is low because no provision specific to underwater/spear fishing exists and the implementing regulations setting gear specifications were not retrieved.

محدودیتها
- Toxic substances (chemical or plant-based) intended to stun, sedate, weaken or kill fish are prohibited (Art. 23)
- Use of explosives or firearms while fishing is prohibited (Art. 23)
- Electronic processes or electrocution of fish are prohibited except for scientific research (Art. 23)
- Fishing with small-mesh nets is prohibited (Art. 23)
- Fishing by beating ('pêche par battage') is prohibited (Art. 23)
The 2020 Fisheries and Aquaculture Code does not name spearguns, harpoons or 'fusil sous-marin' among either authorised or prohibited gear. Article 23 lists destructive methods that are banned; the technical characteristics of authorised vs prohibited gear are to be fixed by a separate regulation (texte règlementaire) which was not located. Note that firearms are banned while fishing, but a mechanical/spring/elastic speargun is not a firearm and is not addressed. Legality of underwater spearfishing is therefore undetermined in the primary text.

Article 21 empowers the Minister to set, by regulation, minimum sizes/weights below which capture of certain species is prohibited, and Article 44 formally prohibits the destruction of spawning grounds (frayères), spawn (frai) and fry (alevins) in the waters covered by the Code. No specific numeric daily limits, species size limits or named protected fish species were located in the retrieved text.

قوانین برای بازدیدکنندگان خارجی و ساکنین محلی چه تفاوتی دارند.
بازدیدکنندگان خارجی
مجاز نیستمحدودیتها
- Under Art. 20, the exercise of fishing in CAR waters is reserved to nationals.
- Foreign nationals may fish only if their country has concluded an international agreement (covering fishing in whole or in part) with the Central African Republic, and then only in accordance with that agreement.
Because inland fishing is reserved to nationals by Art. 20, recreational fishing by foreigners is generally not allowed absent a relevant international agreement. The interaction with the sport-fishing permit of Art. 27 for tourists is not clarified in the retrieved text.
ساکنین
Permis de pêche sportive for non-commercial recreational fishing; artisanal fishing also regulated (vessel registration/immatriculation required for pirogues and baleinières).
الزامات
- Be a national of the Central African Republic to fish in CAR waters (Art. 20)
- Obtain a sport-fishing permit from the Minister in charge of fisheries for recreational fishing (Art. 27)
Fishing is reserved to nationals; local populations may receive exceptional, one-off fish-gathering authorisations in certain protected areas (other than reserves and national parks) following a natural calamity (Art. 28).

مناطق مجاز و ممنوع
مناطق نامگذاریشدهای که برای ماهیگیری با نیزه باز یا بسته هستند. تصویر کامل را در نقشه تعاملی ببینید.
مناطق ممنوع
- Manovo-Gounda St Floris National Parknational park
UNESCO World Heritage national park in north-eastern CAR. Under Art. 28 of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Code, national parks are excluded even from the exceptional fish-gathering authorisations allowed in other protected areas, i.e. fishing is not permitted. UNESCO records list illegal fishing among the threats to the park, confirming that fishing there is unauthorised.
- Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve / Dzanga-Ndoki National Park complexnational park / special reserve
Protected-area complex in south-western CAR. In the Dzanga-Sangha reserve subsistence use by local populations is tolerated but all other exploitation is prohibited apart from ecotourism and scientific research; the Dzanga-Ndoki National Park component falls under the Art. 28 exclusion of national parks from fishing authorisations.
- Bamingui-Bangoran National Park and Biosphere Reserve (incl. Vassako-Bolo Strict Nature Reserve)national park
Large national park and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in northern CAR (Bamingui-Bangoran prefecture), ~11,191 km², drained by the Bamingui and Bangoran rivers and their tributaries (NB: the cited Wikipedia source dates the park to 1993, not 1933 as the researcher wrote). As a national park it falls under Art. 28 of the 2020 Fisheries and Aquaculture Code (Loi N° 20.944), which excludes reserves and national parks even from the exceptional fish-gathering authorisations otherwise permitted in protected areas, i.e. fishing (including any freshwater spearfishing) is not authorised. The embedded Vassako-Bolo Strict Nature Reserve is a fully protected core zone.

یادداشتهای محقق
Central African Republic is landlocked (no sea coastline), so marine spearfishing does not apply; only freshwater (inland) fishing is possible. The governing instrument is Loi N° 20.944 portant Code de la Pêche et de l'Aquaculture, promulgated 6 August 2020 by President Faustin-Archange Touadéra, whose official full text is hosted on FAOLEX (caf213146.pdf, image PDF with OCR text layer; verbatim French excerpts above were extracted from that OCR layer and minor OCR artefacts were cleaned without altering substance). The Code recognises 'pêche sportive' = recreational, non-commercial fishing (Art. 5) and requires a ministerial permit for it (Art. 27). It does NOT mention spearfishing, spearguns, harpoons or 'fusil sous-marin' anywhere; Art. 23 bans toxic substances, explosives/firearms, electrocution, small-mesh nets and 'battage' but not spearfishing. Therefore spearfishing legality is recorded as 'unknown' rather than 'yes' or 'no'. Inland fishing is reserved to nationals (Art. 20), so foreigners generally may not fish absent an international agreement. The Minister may set closed seasons, prohibited zones and prohibited techniques by regulation (Art. 21); those implementing regulations and any fee schedule were not located, so seasons[] and numeric limits are empty. National parks (e.g. Manovo-Gounda St Floris, Dzanga-Ndoki) are excluded from fishing authorisations (Art. 28). Data confidence is LOW: the primary law was retrieved and quoted, but no spearfishing-specific provision exists and the subordinate regulations were not found.
