Dockyard Creek and French Creek (Grand Harbour) closed fishing area

Statutory closed area under regulation 12 of the Fishery Regulations, S.L. 425.01 (consolidated, as amended up to L.N. 296 of 2025): no fishing of any kind - spearfishing included - is permitted in Dockyard Creek or French Creek, that is, the parts of the Grand Harbour south-east of a line drawn from St Angelo Point to Isola Point and thence to the northern end of Parlatorio Wharf and Corradino Hill. This is not an absolute no-take area in form: a special licence issued by the Director of Fisheries with the approval of the Prime Minister can authorise fishing, but no such licence is available to recreational fishers as of right, and regulation 6 bars even scientific-purpose licences in this locality.
