Luxembourg
Europe · Western Europe
Luxembourg is landlocked, so there is no marine spearfishing. Recreational fishing exists only in inland fresh waters (rivers, the Upper Sûre reservoir, ponds) and is governed by the Law of 28 June 1976 regulating fishing in inland waters and its implementing regulations. The Grand-Ducal Regulation of 21 July 1976 sets the only authorized fishing methods: fishing is allowed solely by hand line (ligne à main) — one or two hand lines in first-category waters and a single hand line in second-category waters — plus casting and fly fishing as authorized procedures. Spearfishing / underwater fishing (pêche sous-marine / chasse sous-marine, with speargun or harpoon) is not among the permitted methods and is therefore effectively prohibited. A personal, non-transferable fishing permit is required for anyone aged 14 or over.

Restrizioni
- Fishing is authorized only by hand line (ligne à main): one or two hand lines in first-category waters, a single hand line in second-category waters
- A hand line is defined as a device composed of a rod, line, hook, bait and usual accessories
- Casting and natural/artificial fly fishing (up to 3 artificial flies) are the only additionally authorized procedures
- Spearguns, harpoons and any underwater/spearfishing gear are not authorized methods
Spearfishing equipment (speargun/harpoon) is not listed among permitted gear in the Grand-Ducal Regulation of 21 July 1976, which limits inland fishing to hand line, casting and fly fishing. There is no sea coast, so no marine spearfishing exists.

Note dei ricercatori
Luxembourg is landlocked (no sea coast), so marine spearfishing does not exist. Recreational fishing occurs only in inland fresh waters. The decisive legal point is the Grand-Ducal Regulation of 21 July 1976, which limits authorized fishing methods to hand line (ligne à main), casting and fly fishing; spearguns/harpoons and underwater fishing are not authorized methods, so spearfishing is effectively prohibited (classified here as 'no'). This mirrors the wider European pattern for freshwater (e.g. neighbouring France strictly forbids chasse sous-marine in fresh water). Verbatim legal text for the 1976 regulation (Article 1er) and the permit obligation was retrieved from official sources (Legilux filestore HTML and the environment-ministry portal). The primary Law of 28 June 1976 was located on Legilux but its full consolidated article text could not be rendered via automated fetch (JavaScript page); its ELI page is cited. Confidence set to medium: the prohibition of spearfishing is an inference from the exhaustive list of authorized methods rather than from an article that names spearfishing explicitly. Species-specific size limits, closed seasons and catch quotas are set by further grand-ducal regulations and fishing-lot rules and are not enumerated here because spearfishing is not a lawful method.
