Guernsey
Europe · Northern Europe
Guernsey (Bailiwick of Guernsey, a British Crown Dependency) has no licensing scheme or explicit prohibition for recreational spearfishing; sea-fisheries licensing applies to commercial fishing vessels only. Recreational spearfishing/freediving for fish is therefore generally permitted, but it is heavily constrained by species rules under the Fishing Ordinance, 1997 and its subordinate orders: minimum landing sizes apply to all prescribed species, the prized ormer (Haliotis tuberculata, a wild abalone) must NOT be taken by diving or while wearing a wetsuit/snorkel/breathing apparatus and may only be gathered by hand on foot during a few permitted 'ormering tides' (Jan-Apr) and never between sunset and sunrise, and certain restricted/controlled inshore waters limit some gear and methods. Scuba (aqualung) spearfishing is in practice not accepted, consistent with surrounding UK/EU practice that spearfishing be done only while freediving/snorkelling. Confidence is medium: minimum-size, ormer and seasonal rules are sourced from official/legislative texts, but no Guernsey statute expressly names 'spearfishing/speargun', so the top-level legality is inferred from the absence of any prohibition and from the species/method rules that do exist.

Prohibition on taking ormers between sunset and sunrise
The Fishing (Amendment) Ordinance, 2022 (P.2022/97), amending the Fishing Ordinance, 1997
3. In section 3, immediately after subsection (3) insert the following subsection - "(3A) Notwithstanding anything in this section, a person shall not take ormers at any time between the hours of sunset and sunrise.".
Explanatory memorandum on ormer shore-gathering restrictions
The Fishing (Amendment) Ordinance, 2022 (P.2022/97) - Explanatory Memorandum
Section 3 amends the Fishing Ordinance to provide that the taking of ormers at any time between the hours of sunset and sunrise is prohibited. This was the position in legislation prior to the enactment of the Fishing Ordinance. The policy letter that led to the enactment of the Fishing Ordinance proposed that no changes should be made to the restrictions concerning the shoregathering of ormers. This amendment therefore corrects an oversight and gives effect to the States resolution of 30th October 1996.
Power to regulate taking, buying and selling of prescribed species
The Fishing (Amendment) Ordinance, 2022 (P.2022/97), amending the Fishing Ordinance, 1997
2. In section 1, immediately after subsection (3) insert the following subsection - "(4) The Committee may by order regulate the import, export, taking, buying and selling of any fish which is of a prescribed species.".

制限事項
- No Guernsey statute expressly names spearguns; recreational spearfishing is treated as permitted while freediving/snorkelling, consistent with surrounding UK/EU practice that spearfishing be done without underwater breathing apparatus.
- Diving for ormers is not permitted; ormers must be gathered by hand on foot at low tide and not while wearing a wetsuit, snorkel/goggles or breathing apparatus.
- Use of any net to fish for crawfish in territorial waters is prohibited.
- All minimum landing sizes under the Fishing (Minimum Size and Prescribed Species) Order, 1997 apply to anything taken, including by spear.
scuba_allowed is marked false on the basis that scuba (aqualung) spearfishing is not an accepted method and ormer-taking by diving is expressly prohibited; no Guernsey provision was found that explicitly permits scuba spearfishing. Treat speargun_allowed=true as an inference (no prohibition found), not as an express statutory authorisation.

Minimum sizes are taken from Schedule 1 Part II of the Fishing (Minimum Size and Prescribed Species) Order, 1997, where values are stated in millimetres (converted to cm here). Part I additionally adopts the EC Council Regulation 894/97 (Region 2) minimum sizes for finfish such as bass, bream, cod, mullet, pollack, plaice, sole and turbot; those numeric values were not legible in the retrieved table and are not reproduced here to avoid fabrication.

調査者メモ
Guernsey is the main island of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, a self-governing British Crown Dependency with its own fisheries legislation (separate from the UK and from Jersey). No Guernsey law expressly mentions 'spearfishing' or 'speargun', and there is no recreational fishing licence; the Bailiwick licensing scheme (Sea Fish Licensing Law 2012 / Sea Fish Licensing Ordinance 2003) covers commercial vessels only. Recreational spearfishing while freediving/snorkelling is therefore treated as permitted, subject to the species and method rules captured here. The single most important constraint for divers/spearos is the ormer regime: ormers (wild abalone) may NOT be taken by diving or while wearing a wetsuit/snorkel/breathing apparatus, only by hand on foot at low water on permitted 'ormering tides' between 1 January and 30 April, never between sunset and sunrise, minimum 80mm. Minimum landing sizes apply to all prescribed species (Schedule 1 of the 1997 Order). The EC Council Regulation 894/97 finfish minimum sizes referenced in Part I of that Order were not legible in the retrieved PDF and are intentionally omitted rather than guessed. Coordinates given for the three restricted/controlled-water zones are approximate centroids for the parish-line boundaries described verbatim in the Restricted Fishing Areas Order, 1997, not surveyed coordinates from the legal text (which describes boundaries by named forts/towers/points). Data confidence: medium - ormer, minimum-size and zone rules are well sourced from legislation; the top-level spearfishing legality and the speargun/scuba positions are reasoned inferences from the absence of any prohibition, so should be confirmed with Sea Fisheries before relying on them operationally.
