Americas · Northern America
Spearfishing is legal in Bermuda only under a licence, and licences are issued to Bermuda residents only. Only a pole spear may be used: spearguns and Hawaiian slings are illegal, and SCUBA/aqualung may not be used to take fish. Spearfishing is prohibited within one nautical mile of the shore of any island of Bermuda, banned year-round in 30 designated protected dive-site areas, and banned seasonally (15 April to 14 August) in the South Western and North Eastern protected areas. A bag limit of two fish of any one species per person per day applies, spearing of lobster is prohibited, and speared fish may not be sold. Many species (all parrotfish, several groupers, marine turtles, mammals, corals, molluscs) are fully protected and may never be taken.

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
不可制限事項
- Spearfishing licences are issued to Bermuda residents only; non-residents/tourists cannot obtain a spearfishing licence and therefore cannot legally spearfish.

Bermuda Fisheries Regulations 2010 (reproduced text of reg. 22)

調査者メモ
Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory with strict marine conservation law. Spearfishing is legal only for licensed Bermuda residents using a pole spear; spearguns, Hawaiian slings and SCUBA are banned. Key constraints: no spearfishing within one nautical mile of any island's shore; year-round ban in 30 designated protected dive-site areas (Fisheries (Protected Areas) Order 2000 as amended by BR 119/2019); seasonal closure (15 April-14 August) of the South Western and North Eastern Areas for spawning aggregations; two-fish-per-species daily bag limit; no spearing of lobster; speared fish may not be sold. Verbatim regulation text (reg. 22) was obtained from a secondary reproduction of the Fisheries Regulations 2010; the protected-area coordinates and prohibition text are from the official government PDF of the Fisheries (Protected Areas) Order 2000. Coordinates were converted from degrees-decimal-minutes (as published) to decimal degrees; seasonal-area centroid coordinates are approximate midpoints of the published boundary points. Size-limit examples are illustrative from the official catch-limits page (full per-species tables exist in the Fisheries Regulations 2010). data_confidence is high overall, with the only weaker link being that the precise reg. 22 wording came via a secondary reproduction rather than the primary gazette text.
