Marine fishery domain (inshore subsistence waters) outside conservation zones

Under Article 31, subsistence fishing with small-scale gear (including the spears permitted by Proclamation No. 319) may be carried out at any time in the marine fishery domain, provided it is outside fishery conservation areas and no-take zones and does not use a projected lamp. The inshore fishing area extends from the high-tide coastline to the 20 m depth line (Article 11).

Daytime only (no projected lamp/light); subsistence/family-scale gear only; non-subsistence use requires a license (Art. 45); must stay outside all conservation/no-take zones; foreigners require MAFF agreement and government approval (Art. 38).

Subsistence fishing allowed year-round (Art. 31)
