Equatorial Guinea
Africa · Middle Africa
Equatorial Guinea has no spearfishing-specific statute, but recreational/sport fishing ('pesca deportiva') is a defined, licensed category under national fisheries law. The governing law (Ley Nº 10/2003, Reguladora de la Actividad Pesquera) and its implementing regulation (Decreto Nº 130/2004) require any sport fishing — whatever the vessel or gear — to hold a fishing licence/permit issued by the Ministry of Fisheries. The 2004 regulation explicitly recognises and charges an annual registration fee for 'underwater fishing equipment' (equipos de pesca submarina, 5,000 FCFA/year), which is the closest direct legal reference to spearfishing gear. Practically, spearfishing is therefore permitted only with the proper licence and gear registration. Note: secondary sources report a newer fisheries law, Ley Nº 11/2017 (Reguladora de la Actividad Pesquera y Acuícola), which may supersede the 2003 law, but its verbatim text could not be retrieved, so the cited provisions are from the 2003/2004 instruments. A new protected-areas law (Ley Nº 6/2025) restricts activities inside the national protected-area system, which includes ~730 km² of marine areas. No data was found on closed seasons, catch limits, scuba restrictions, or species-specific rules applicable to recreational spearfishing.

National fisheries regulation explicitly lists 'equipos pesca submarina' in its gear/aparejos registration schedule, indicating underwater (spear) fishing gear is legally recognised and registrable. No specific bans on spearguns, scuba-assisted spearfishing, or spear numbers were found in retrieved sources.

No spearfishing-specific rules for foreigners were found. General fishing licensing under Ley 10/2003 / Decreto 130/2004 applies; the 2004 fee schedule distinguishes foreign vs national vessels for permits (foreign sport/research vessels charged 20,000 FCFA/TRB/vessel/year; national vessels 40% of the foreign rate), implying foreigners may participate under permit. Entry/visa and general fisheries authorisation requirements apply. Verify with the Ministry of Fisheries before travel.

ໝາຍເຫດຂອງນັກວິໄຈ
Spearfishing is not separately regulated in Equatorial Guinea, but recreational/sport fishing ('pesca deportiva') is a defined and licensed category, and the implementing regulation explicitly recognises and charges for the registration of 'underwater fishing equipment' (equipos de pesca submarina). Verbatim provisions cited here are from Ley 10/2003 and Decreto 130/2004, both retrieved as official texts via the FAO FAOLEX repository (originally published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado). A newer law, Ley Nº 11/2017 (Reguladora de la Actividad Pesquera y Acuícola), is reported by secondary sources (FAO/AI-search summaries) to govern fisheries and may have superseded the 2003 law, but its full text could not be retrieved and is NOT cited verbatim — the legal framework list flags it as unverified. Confidence is LOW because: (1) the currently-in-force primary statute (likely the 2017 law) was not obtained; (2) no closed seasons, catch limits, size limits, scuba rules, or foreigner-specific spearfishing rules were located; (3) protected-area boundaries and coordinates are approximate. Marine/coastal protected areas (Corisco-Elobeyes-Mbañé, Annobón, Río Muni estuary, Río Campo, Punta Ilende) are listed as prohibited/restricted zones under the protected-areas framework (most recently Ley 6/2025); their exact extraction-restriction rules for spearfishing were not retrieved. Anyone intending to spearfish should obtain a sport-fishing licence and register gear with the Ministry of Fisheries and confirm current rules and protected-area boundaries directly with INDEFOR-AP and the Ministry.
