Democratic Republic of the Congo
Africa · Middle Africa
There is no statute in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) that specifically regulates recreational spearfishing or underwater fishing (chasse sous-marine). The fisheries sector is still governed by the colonial-era Decree of 21 April 1937 on fishing (decret du 21 avril 1937 sur la peche), under which fishing is generally permitted throughout the territory (Art. 57), subject to private-water rights (Art. 58) and customary indigenous fishing rights (Art. 59). The decree does not mention spearguns, harpoons, diving or underwater fishing, but it empowers the governor general and provincial authorities to prohibit certain fishing modes, traps or gear (Art. 65), to close seasons for chosen species (Art. 61) and to create reserves where fishing is wholly or partly prohibited (Art. 62); destroying spawn/fry and fishing in spawning grounds is prohibited (Art. 60). The DRC's only marine protected area, the Mangroves Marine Park / Parc Marin des Mangroves at Muanda (Kongo Central, Atlantic coast, est. 1992, Ramsar site 1996, managed by ICCN), restricts fishing to conservation-compatible traditional use. A modern framework law on fishing and aquaculture (proposition de loi portant principes fondamentaux relatifs a la peche et a l'aquaculture) was declared admissible by the National Assembly in May 2025 but was not yet promulgated as of mid-2025. Because spearfishing is neither explicitly authorised nor explicitly prohibited, and is potentially caught by general gear-restriction and protected-area powers, its status is classified as restricted/unclear.

외국인 방문자와 현지 거주자에게 규정이 어떻게 다른지.
외국인 방문자
No specific rules on spearfishing or recreational fishing by foreigners were found. General fishing is permitted under the 1937 decree but local authorisation and protected-area rules may apply; foreigners should confirm requirements with the provincial fisheries administration and, near the coast, with ICCN.

혜택
- Customary/traditional fishing rights are recognised for local (indigenous) communities under Article 59 of the 1937 decree (notably via barrages, traps and nets), within customary limits.
Customary fishing rights apply to local communities; these are traditional gear rights and do not specifically cover spearfishing.

조사자 메모
The DRC has a short (~37 km) Atlantic coastline at Muanda/Banana but is overwhelmingly an inland (freshwater) fisheries country (Congo River, Lakes Tanganyika, Kivu, Edward, Albert, Mai-Ndombe, etc.). No DRC legal instrument was found that mentions spearfishing, underwater fishing, spearguns, harpoons or diving. The operative fisheries statute is the still-in-force colonial Decree of 21 April 1937, whose verbatim provisions (arts. 57-67) are captured above from leganet.cd (the principal Congolese legal database). Fishing is generally free (art. 57) but authorities may close seasons (art. 61), create reserves (art. 62) and prohibit specific gear/methods (art. 65); a speargun could therefore be banned locally without that ban being centrally published. The only marine protected area, the Mangroves Marine Park near Muanda (Ramsar site, ICCN-managed), restricts fishing. A modern framework law on fishing and aquaculture was declared admissible by the National Assembly in May 2025 but the full text was not retrievable and it was not yet promulgated; once enacted it may change this picture. data_confidence is set to 'low' and spearfishing_allowed to 'restricted' because, while real verbatim general fishing law was obtained, no source directly addresses spearfishing and several discretionary restriction powers and protected-area rules could apply. License, catch-limit, foreigner and resident specifics for spearfishing remain unknown.
