Comoros
Africa · Eastern Africa
There is no dedicated recreational spearfishing law in the Union of the Comoros, but the activity is governed by the national Fisheries and Aquaculture Code. Under the original 2007 Code (Loi N°07-011/AU, Article 33), spearfishing with a harpoon ('peche au harpon') and gleaning on foot were expressly prohibited on coral reefs in Comorian maritime waters. The Code was revised by Loi N°19-05/AU (adopted 25 June 2019, promulgated by Decree N°20-905/PR on 1 April 2020), which re-enacts the Code: it classifies any fishing for recreational purposes as 'peche sportive' (sport fishing) and makes it subject to a prior permit issued by an approved agency/association or the fisheries administration (Article 39). Practising sport fishing without a permit is now a 'grave infraction' (Article 98-1). The administration also levies a specific 'droit sur la peche sous-marine' (underwater-fishing fee) under Article 65. Inside marine protected areas, fishing (and diving with or without fishing gear or weapons) requires prior authorisation and follows each area's management plan (2007 Code Art. 76; 2019 Code Art. 53). Several large marine national parks (Moheli, Coelacanth, Mitsamiouli-Ndroude, Shisiwani) restrict or ban fishing. In practice many coastal villages have locally banned underwater spear guns, nets and traps, though enforcement is weak. Foreigners are not separately addressed; the permit/authorisation regime applies to any person fishing in Comorian waters.

محدودیتها
- Harpoon/spear fishing ('peche au harpon') is prohibited on coral reefs in Comorian maritime waters (2007 Code, Art. 33).
- Firearms are prohibited as a fishing method, and fishing gear or weapons may not be used in protected aquatic areas without prior authorisation (2007 Code Art. 76 & 77; 2019 Code Art. 62).
- Many coastal villages have locally banned underwater spear guns, nets and traps (FAO SmartFish / community reports).
The Code does not set numeric equipment limits (number of spears, etc.) for recreational spearfishing. Because coral reefs are the main spearfishing habitat and harpoon fishing there is banned, speargun use is effectively restricted; scuba-assisted spearfishing is not specifically addressed in the Code.

قوانین برای بازدیدکنندگان خارجی و ساکنین محلی چه تفاوتی دارند.
بازدیدکنندگان خارجی
الزامات
- The Code applies to any person, vessel or craft present in Comorian maritime waters or on Comorian territory (2019 Code, Art. 4); the sport-fishing permit requirement (Art. 39) therefore applies to foreigners as well as nationals.
The Fisheries and Aquaculture Code does not contain a separate foreigners' regime for recreational/sport fishing. No nationality-based prohibition was found, but no explicit foreigner-specific permit pathway was found either; foreigners would be subject to the same permit/authorisation and protected-area rules. Confirm with the fisheries administration before travelling.
ساکنین
Permis de peche sportive (same sport-fishing permit applies; no resident-specific recreational category found). Traditional fishing ('peche traditionnelle') by Comorians is free and licence-exempt (2019 Code, Art. 54) but is a separate, non-recreational category.
مزایا
- Traditional fishing is exercised freely and without charge ('libre et gratuit', Art. 54), subject to conservation restrictions on minimum catch size and methods (Art. 55).
The Code distinguishes traditional/subsistence fishing (open to Comorians) from sport fishing (permit-based). It does not create a distinct residents' recreational-spearfishing licence.

Covers coral reefs, mangroves and islets around Mohéli (Mwali) island and protects coelacanth, dugong, marine turtles and humpback whales. Fishing and diving inside the park are governed by its management plan; spear-gun/harpoon use is restricted and no-take/community-managed zones apply.
- Coelacanth National Park (Parc National Coelacanthe)marine national park
Marine national park established in 2010 on the western/south-western coast of Grande Comore (Ngazidja), approx. 92.76 km2, protecting coral reefs and the volcanic caves that shelter the coelacanth. Fishing is restricted under the park management regime and the Fisheries Code's protected-area provisions.
- Mitsamiouli Ndroude National Parkmarine national park
Marine national park established in 2010 on the northern coast of Grande Comore (Ngazidja), approx. 23.14 km2, protecting coral reef habitat. Fishing restricted under park management plan and Fisheries Code protected-area rules.
- Shisiwani National Parkmarine national park
Marine national park established in 2010 on Anjouan (Ndzwani), approx. 64.97 km2, protecting coral reefs and coastal habitat. Fishing restricted under park management plan and Fisheries Code protected-area rules.
- Coral reefs in Comorian maritime waters (general)habitat protection (coral reef)
Under Article 33 of the 2007 Fisheries Code, harpoon fishing ('peche au harpon', i.e. spearfishing) and foot-gleaning are prohibited on coral reefs throughout Comorian maritime waters.
- Malezi Mema No-Take Zone (Sima Peninsula, Anjouan)community no-take marine reserve
A ~10-hectare community-managed no-take zone (NTZ) on the reef flat off the Sima Peninsula in the southwestern corner of Anjouan (Ndzwani), inside Shisiwani National Park. The area is fully closed to fishing; it is demarcated at sea with buoys and on shore with signs listing prohibitions, and is patrolled by the Malezi Mema fishers' association, the gendarmerie and park managers. Violators face legal proceedings and fines. Because all fishing is banned, spearfishing is prohibited here.

یادداشتهای محقق
Spearfishing is not separately regulated as a sport in the Comoros; it falls under the national Fisheries and Aquaculture Code. Key legal points: (1) The 2007 Code (Loi N°07-011/AU, Art. 33) expressly bans harpoon fishing and foot-gleaning on coral reefs in Comorian maritime waters. (2) The Code was fully revised by Loi N°19-05/AU (adopted 25 June 2019, promulgated by Decret N°20-905/PR on 1 April 2020). The revised consolidated text treats all recreational fishing as 'peche sportive', requiring a prior permit (Art. 39), and makes unlicensed sport fishing a grave infraction (Art. 98-1). A specific underwater-fishing fee exists (Art. 65). The revised code's prohibited-methods article (Art. 62) lists toxic substances, explosives, firearms and electric methods but does not re-state the explicit coral-reef harpoon ban; Art. 109 repeals prior contrary provisions, so the precise current status of the Art. 33 harpoon ban is ambiguous and was not independently confirmed against a regulation reproducing or repealing it. (3) Fishing/diving in marine protected areas requires authorisation and follows each area's management plan (Art. 53 / 2007 Art. 76); the major marine parks are Mohéli, Coelacanth, Mitsamiouli-Ndroude and Shisiwani. (4) Many coastal villages locally ban spear guns, nets and traps, though enforcement is weak (FAO SmartFish). Coordinates given for protected zones are approximate island-coast centroids derived from the islands' known locations, NOT official park boundary coordinates, because registry pages did not publish per-park coordinates. Verbatim law text was transcribed from the official Ministry of Justice 2007 PDF and the FAOLEX 2019 revised-code PDF via OCR; minor OCR artifacts and accent normalisation may exist. Confidence is medium: legal text is from authoritative official sources, but recreational-specific operational details (fees, bag/size limits, foreigner pathway) and the exact reconciliation of the 2007 vs 2019 gear bans were not all retrievable.
