Réunion
Africa · Eastern Africa
Réunion is a French overseas department, so French national marine recreational fishing law (Code rural et de la pêche maritime), EU rules and French prefectural arrêtés apply. Recreational spearfishing (chasse/pêche sous-marine en apnée) is legal but heavily regulated. Practitioners must be at least 16, may only freedive (scuba bottles forbidden together with a speargun), must carry a signalling buoy, and may not spearfish at night or use a light. Most of the populated west and south-west reef coast lies within the Réserve Naturelle Marine de La Réunion (created by Décret n° 2007-236, 21 Feb 2007), where spearfishing is banned in the reinforced-protection zones (zones de protection renforcée), in the integral-protection zones (zones de protection intégrale) and in the passes, and the foëne (trident/pole spear) is prohibited reserve-wide. Spearfishing remains permitted on roughly 43% of the reserve perimeter and in open waters outside the reserve, subject to a 5 kg per fisher per day catch limit inside the reserve, a 10 cm minimum size, protected-species rules and the langouste (spiny lobster) closed season of 1 December to 31 March.

Napomene istraživača
Réunion is a French overseas department (DROM) and EU outermost region; French national fisheries law, EU rules and local prefectural arrêtés apply. The dominant constraint on spearfishing is the Réserve Naturelle Marine de La Réunion (created by Décret n° 2007-236, 21 Feb 2007; boundary rectified by Décret n° 2014-542 of 26 May 2014), covering about 3,500 ha along ~40 km of the west/south-west reef coast from Cap La Houssaye (Saint-Paul) to Roche aux Oiseaux (Étang-Salé), across five communes. Within the reserve: spearfishing banned in zones de protection renforcée (Niveau 2, ~45%) and zones de protection intégrale (Niveau 3, ~5%), foëne banned reserve-wide, fishing banned in the passes; spearfishing remains authorised on ~43% of the perimeter with a 5 kg/fisher/day cap and night fishing prohibited. Verbatim legal text was captured directly from Légifrance (Décret 2007-236, Art. 8, 21, 25). National safety/equipment rules (min age 16, signalling buoy, freediving only, no night/light) are sourced from the Direction de la mer Sud Océan Indien. Langouste closed season 1 Dec–31 Mar and 23 cm minimum size from a secondary news source corroborating the prefectural arrêté; the exact arrêté number was not captured and should be confirmed against the current prefectural text. Coordinates for the protection zones are approximate centroids of the west-coast reserve for mapping and should be refined from the official réserve cartography.
