Holy See

Europe · Southern Europe

The Holy See (Vatican City State) is the world's smallest independent state, a landlocked enclave of about 0.44 km2 entirely surrounded by the city of Rome, Italy. It has no sea coastline, no maritime claims, and no rivers or lakes within its territory; it merely lies on the west bank of the Tiber River, which is in Italian territory. The only water features are ornamental fountains and ponds in the Vatican Gardens. There is therefore no marine, coastal, or natural freshwater fishery in which spearfishing could take place, and no Vatican legislation regulating recreational fishing or spearfishing. In practice spearfishing is not possible in the Holy See. Any spearfishing in nearby waters would fall under Italian (and, for the sea, EU) law, not Holy See law.

Notaichean rannsachaidh

Minimal honest record. The Holy See / Vatican City State is landlocked (CIA-derived data: 'Maritime claims: none (landlocked)'), has no coastline, and contains no natural rivers or lakes within its ~0.44 km2 territory; it sits on the west bank of the Tiber River, which lies in Italian territory. The only water bodies are decorative Vatican Gardens fountains and ponds (including the 'Peschiera' / fish-pond). Consequently no marine or natural freshwater fishery exists, and the Holy See has enacted no fishing or spearfishing legislation; law_texts is empty because no relevant legal instrument exists. Spearfishing is effectively impossible within the Holy See. Persons interested in spearfishing in the surrounding region would be subject to Italian and EU law, which is out of scope for this Holy See record. data_confidence is 'high' for the conclusion (well-established geography), though it rests on the absence of any applicable regulation rather than a positive prohibiting statute.
