Burkina Faso
Africa · Western Africa
Burkina Faso is landlocked, so there is no marine/sea spearfishing. Inland (freshwater) fishing in public waters is governed by Book III (Livre III) of the Forest Code, Loi N°003-2011/AN of 05 April 2011. Article 175 expressly prohibits fishing by means of explosives, firearms or bladed/edged weapons ("armes a feu ou d'armes blanches"), as well as toxic substances and electric methods. A speargun or harpoon used to take fish falls within the prohibited categories (firearm/bladed weapon), so recreational underwater spearfishing is effectively not a lawful fishing method. The authorised artisanal gears in national waters are nets (filet maillant, epervier), longlines (palangre), hook-and-line and traps; the law (Art. 179) further empowers the minister to designate prohibited substances and methods. Any sport or commercial fishing also requires a region-specific fishing permit (permis de peche). Fishing in Burkinabe waters is reserved for nationals, with foreigners admitted only under conditions set by regulation (Art. 189).

- 制限ありLittoral strip of 2 metres from the bank toward the pelagic zone (national public waters)6月 15 – 8月 31
Per the FAO national fisheries profile (citing the Forest Code and Arrete N°98-008/MEE/SG/DGEF/DP), in the 2-metre littoral band from the bank toward the pelagic zone, from 15 June to 31 August the use of any gear other than fishing rods (cannes a peche) is strictly forbidden. This protects spawning. It excludes underwater/spear methods.
- 禁漁Spawning grounds (frayeres) designated by ministerial order
Fishing in spawning grounds is permanently prohibited under Article 176 of the 2011 Forest Code; geographic delimitation of closed frayeres is set by ministerial order (arrete).

制限事項
- Explosives, firearms and bladed/edged weapons (armes a feu ou armes blanches) are prohibited for fishing (Art. 175) - this covers spearguns/harpoons
- Toxic substances (natural or chemical) to stun, weaken or kill aquatic organisms are prohibited (Art. 175)
- Electromagnetic / electrocution methods are prohibited (Art. 175)
- Gear made of cloth or mosquito netting that catches fry is prohibited (Art. 175)
- Net mesh smaller than 35 mm knot-to-knot (70 mm stretched) is prohibited (FAO profile / Arrete 98-008)
- Damming/barring more than half the wetted width of waters, electric fishing, water-beating (battue d'eau), drift nets and seine nets are prohibited (FAO profile / Arrete 98-008)
Authorised artisanal gears in Burkinabe public waters are gillnets (filet maillant), cast nets (epervier), longlines (palangre), hook-and-line and traps (nasses). The harpon (hand harpoon) appears in the FAO profile as a minor traditional gear, but the 2011 Forest Code Art. 175 prohibits firearms and bladed weapons for fishing, which removes spearguns/underwater spearfishing as a lawful recreational method.

The 2011 Forest Code (Art. 179) empowers the minister to set minimum capture sizes by species and protected periods, fixed by ministerial order; specific numeric daily limits and species size limits were not retrievable from the consulted sources. Minimum net mesh of 35 mm knot-to-knot indirectly limits the capture of juveniles.

訪問者＆居住者
外国人訪問者と現地居住者で規則がどう異なるか。
外国人訪問者
要件
- Fishing in Burkinabe waters is reserved for nationals; foreigners may be allowed only under conditions set by regulation (Art. 189)
制限事項
- Spearfishing as a method is in any case not lawful (Art. 175 bans firearms and bladed weapons for fishing), so the question is moot for underwater fishing
Even where a foreigner could be authorised to fish, only legal gears (nets, longline, hook-and-line, traps) would be permitted; spearguns/harpoon guns are barred for everyone.
居住者
Permis de peche (region-specific), or free customary/subsistence fishing for villagers under traditional authorities
要件
- Region-specific fishing permit for sport or commercial fishing (Art. 193)
- Each member of a fishing unit must individually hold a permit (Art. 174)
優遇措置
- Nationals have exclusive right to fish in Burkinabe waters (Art. 189)
- Customary/subsistence fishing is free and exempt from the permit requirement (Art. 204)
Customary/subsistence fishing is organised by traditional village authorities under the supervision of decentralised fisheries services.

調査者メモ
Burkina Faso is landlocked (no sea coastline), therefore there is no marine spearfishing; only inland/freshwater fishing exists (rivers, lakes and reservoirs covering ~200,000 ha in the rainy season). The governing instrument is the Forest Code, Loi N°003-2011/AN of 05 April 2011 (signed at Ouagadougou by President Roch Marc Christian Kabore), whose Book III (Livre III, Arts. 170-232) regulates fishing and aquaculture; it superseded the 1997 Forest Code (Loi 006/97/ADP). Recreational underwater spearfishing is treated as 'no' because Article 175 bans the use of firearms and bladed/edged weapons (armes a feu ou armes blanches) for fishing - a speargun/harpoon gun falls within these categories - alongside explosives, poisons and electrofishing. The authorised gears are nets, longlines, hook-and-line and traps. No dedicated spearfishing-specific statute or dive-federation regulation exists for this country. Verbatim French law text was extracted from the official FAOLEX PDF of the 2011 Code; numeric fee amounts, permit validity duration and species-specific size/catch limits are set by ministerial orders (arretes) that were not retrievable, hence those fields are marked unknown. Confidence is medium: the primary law text is authoritative and verbatim, but the spearfishing 'no' conclusion is an interpretation of the general gear prohibition (no Burkina Faso source addresses underwater spearfishing by name).
