Americas · South America

Recreational marine spearfishing (pesca/caza submarina) is practiced legally along Argentina's Atlantic coast and is a recognised competitive sport governed by the Federacion Argentina de Actividades Subacuaticas (FAAS, CMAS member). Coastal hotspots include Las Grutas, San Antonio Oeste and Playas Doradas (Rio Negro) and Puerto Madryn and Comodoro Rivadavia (Chubut), which have hosted national and Pan-American championships. However, the activity is regulated at the provincial level (the national fisheries law focuses on commercial sea fishing), and it is explicitly PROHIBITED in continental/freshwater Patagonian waters under the Reglamento de Pesca Deportiva Continental Patagonico (Art. 22, which bans 'la caza subacuatica' and the use of 'arpones'), and harpoons are prohibited for sport fishing in National Parks. There is no single nationwide statute that affirmatively authorises marine spearfishing; legality therefore depends on the province and whether the water is marine or continental, hence the 'restricted' classification.

Pembatasan

  • Marine coastal practice typically uses band-powered or pneumatic spearguns/harpoons, 7mm wetsuit, mask/snorkel, fins, weight belt and a surface marker buoy (per reported sport practice in Rio Negro/Chubut).
  • Harpoons/spearguns are PROHIBITED in continental Patagonian sport-fishing waters (Reglamento de Pesca Deportiva Continental Patagonico, Art. 22) and for sport fishing in National Parks.
  • Whether SCUBA-assisted spearfishing is permitted (vs free-diving/apnea only) was not confirmed from a verbatim source; competitive spearfishing in Argentina is apnea-based.

Equipment legality is marine-vs-continental dependent. In marine coastal provinces spearguns are used lawfully for sport; in continental/freshwater Patagonia and National Parks they are banned.

Bagaimana aturan berbeda bagi pengunjung asing dan penduduk lokal.

Pengunjung asing

No specific national rule on foreign spearfishers was retrieved. International competitors participate (e.g. Pan-American Championship in Comodoro Rivadavia). Foreigners would be subject to the same province-specific permit and FAAS/affiliated-club requirements as residents; confirm locally.

Catatan peneliti

Argentina is a federal state: the national Regimen Federal de Pesca (Ley 24.922) governs commercial/maritime fishing, while recreational and sport fishing - including spearfishing - is regulated by the provinces and by sector regulations. KEY DISTINCTION: marine coastal spearfishing is practiced legally and competitively (FAAS-organised national and Pan-American championships in Rio Negro and Chubut), whereas underwater hunting (caza subacuatica) and harpoons are explicitly PROHIBITED in continental/freshwater Patagonian sport-fishing waters (Reglamento de Pesca Deportiva Continental Patagonico, Art. 22) and harpoons are barred for sport fishing in National Parks. Verbatim provisions were captured for the Patagonian continental prohibition and season; precise per-province marine spearfishing rules, licenses, catch and size limits for the main coastal provinces (Buenos Aires Ley 11.477, Rio Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz) were not retrieved verbatim (some provincial sources are scanned image PDFs) - hence data_confidence is 'medium'. Anyone intending to spearfish should confirm the specific provincial regulation and any local marine-protected-area (e.g. Parque Submarino de Las Grutas) restrictions before fishing. Coordinates for zones are approximate town/site locations.
