Greenland
Americas · Northern America
Greenland (an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark) does not recognise recreational spearfishing as a permitted fishing method. Its fisheries law operates a positive-list ('may only be done with') regime: the species-specific Self-Government orders for non-commercial/recreational fishing list only hooks/rods and nets (and pots/traps for shellfish) as legal gear. Spear or harpoon (lyster/harpun) are not among the listed recreational fishing methods, so taking fish with a speargun or spear is not legally provided for. Harpoons in Greenland are a hunting tradition used for marine mammals (seals, whales) under hunting (fangst) legislation reserved for residents, not for sport fishing of fish. No source describing legal recreational spearfishing of fish in Greenland was found. A fishing licence (fisketegn) is required for tourists/visitors. Confidence is medium: the absence of spearfishing from the exhaustive permitted-gear lists is well documented, but no single provision explicitly names and bans spearfishing by tourists.

محدودیتها
- Recreational/non-commercial fishing is restricted to hooks/rods and nets (and pots/traps for shellfish); spear and harpoon (lyster/harpun) are not listed as permitted fishing gear.
- Non-commercial salmon fishing may only be done with hooks or one 2000-knot net (§ 11, salmon order).
- In Kapisillit river only a single-hook fishing rod is allowed.
- Net length limits apply (e.g. Arctic char nets max 30 m); shellfish max ~3 pots per angler; wolffish (stenbider) max 2 nets, min 260 mm mesh.
- All gear must be marked with the owner's name in waterproof material.
Harpoons in Greenland are traditionally used for hunting marine mammals (seals, whales) under hunting legislation reserved for residents, not for recreational fishing of fish. No legal provision authorises taking fish with a speargun or spear.

سهمیههای روزانه، حداقل اندازهها و گونههایی که هرگز نباید صید شوند.
محدودیت روزانه
Recreational catch is for own consumption; anglers must respect daily quotas. Salmon recreational fishing is quota-limited and operated as 'olympic fishing' (stops when the national quota is reached). No single numeric pan-species daily figure published.
Greenland sets annual total allowable catches per species under the Fishery Act. Salmon (Atlantic salmon) is tightly quota-managed under NASCO/ICES advice. Marine mammals (seals, whales) are governed by hunting law, not fishing law.
چه کسی میتواند ماهی بگیرد
بازدیدکنندگان و ساکنین
قوانین برای بازدیدکنندگان خارجی و ساکنین محلی چه تفاوتی دارند.
بازدیدکنندگان خارجی
مجاز نیستمجوز ویژه لازم است
الزامات
- Tourists/visitors must hold a paid visitor fishing licence (fisketegn) and carry the bank money-transfer receipt while fishing.
- Recreational salmon licences are generally available only to citizens of Greenland or Denmark with permanent residence in Greenland, or foreign citizens with 2 consecutive years of residence.
محدودیتها
- Spearfishing is not a permitted recreational fishing method for anyone, including foreigners.
- Only hooks/rods and nets are legal recreational gear; harpoon use for marine mammals is a residents-only hunting activity, not open to tourists.
'allowed: false' refers specifically to spearfishing being unavailable to foreigners; line-and-net recreational fishing IS open to tourists with a fisketegn.
ساکنین
Free non-commercial fishing for own consumption for Greenland/Denmark citizens resident in Greenland (and foreigners with 2+ years residence); separate recreational salmon licence for salmon.
الزامات
- Permanent residence in Greenland (citizen of Greenland/Denmark, or foreigner resident 2+ consecutive years).
- Salmon requires a recreational salmon licence (fritidslicens til laks).
مزایا
- May fish freely for own consumption without paying the visitor fisketegn.
- Marine mammal harpoon hunting (seals, whales) is a traditional residents' activity under hunting legislation, distinct from fishing.
Spearfishing of fish is still not a recognised legal method for residents; permitted recreational gear remains hooks/rods and nets.

مناطق مجاز و ممنوع
مناطق نامگذاریشدهای که برای ماهیگیری با نیزه باز یا بسته هستند. تصویر کامل را در نقشه تعاملی ببینید.
مناطق ممنوع
- Kapisillit riverriver fishing restriction zone
In the Kapisillit river (home to Greenland's only native salmon spawning population) fishing is restricted to a single-hook fishing rod only; nets and other gear are not permitted, which inherently excludes spear/harpoon methods.
- Melville Bay Nature Reserve (Qimusseriarsuaq)marine nature reserve
Approximately 10,500 km2 nature reserve in Melville Bay (Qimusseriarsuaq), Baffin Bay, off Northwest Greenland, established 1989 to protect narwhals at the ice edge. Inside the reserve all hunting, fishing, egg collecting, passage and low-altitude transit are prohibited (only Upernavik/Avanersuaq residents meeting conditions are exempt between conservation boundaries I and II). Any taking of fish — including by spear — is banned. Representative center point within the official boundary box (approx 75.5-76.4 N, 57-64 W).
- Northeast Greenland National Parknational park
World's largest national park (~972,000 km2) covering northern and northeastern Greenland and its coast. Hunting and fishing are not allowed within the park; several coastal and sea areas inside the park are designated strictly protected where access and all non-scientific activities are prohibited. Spearfishing (already not a permitted method anywhere in Greenland) is therefore additionally barred here. Representative point near the Daneborg area on the park's east coast.

یادداشتهای محقق
Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark with its own fisheries legislation administered by the Ministry of Fisheries, Hunting, Agriculture and Self-sufficiency and enforced by GFJK. Recreational ('fritidsfiskeri' / 'ikke-erhvervsmaessigt fiskeri') fishing is governed by a positive-list of permitted gear consisting of hooks/rods and nets (plus pots/traps for shellfish). Spear and harpoon (lyster/harpun) are absent from every permitted-gear list reviewed, and the salmon order (§ 11) states recreational salmon fishing 'ma kun foretages med' (may ONLY be done with) hooks or one net - so spearfishing for fish is not legally provided for; legal_status set to 'no'. Important nuance: harpoons ARE central to Greenlandic culture but for HUNTING marine mammals (seals, whales) under hunting/fangst law reserved for residents, NOT for sport spearfishing of fish - these two regimes should not be conflated. Tourists CAN line/net fish with a paid visitor licence (fisketegn). data_confidence is 'medium' because the prohibition of spearfishing is inferred from the exhaustive permitted-gear lists rather than a single explicit ban naming spearguns; the cold Arctic water and absence of any dive-spearfishing culture or operators further support that recreational spearfishing of fish does not occur here. Cost figures are from the official 2025 licence guideline. No spearfishing-specific marine protected zones were identifiable.
