Hoe speervissen wordt behandeld bij Inshore Exclusion Zone (coastal waters).
Under Fisheries and Aquaculture Act, 2025 (Act 1146) s. 40, the Minister designates an inshore exclusion zone in coastal waters. Per s. 40(2)-(4) a person shall not use an industrial fishing vessel, a large semi-industrial vessel or a canoe support vessel to fish there, nor use towing gear; the zone 'shall be used exclusively by semi-industrial vessels, canoes and recreational fishing vessels' for fishing, fishing-related activities or research with gear prescribed by the Commission. Commentary reports the zone was expanded from 6 to 12 nautical miles. This is a gear/vessel-type exclusion that expressly contemplates recreational fishing vessels rather than a blanket ban on individual divers, but it confirms coastal fishing is regulated and licence-bound. Verbatim s. 40 text is in the law_texts block / Act 1146 PDF.

Vergunning voor Ghana
Of je een vergunning nodig hebt om hier te speervissen, en hoe je die krijgt.
Fishing licences are issued by the Fisheries Commission. Ghanaian law recognises recreational fishing as a licensed category: Act 625 s. 60 required an application to the Commission for a recreational-fishing licence (accompanied by an environmental impact assessment), with recreational fishing 'carried on in accordance with such requirements as may be prescribed by Regulations'; Act 1146 carries the same definition of recreational fishing and, under s. 56, makes it an offence to use a Ghanaian fishing vessel or canoe for fishing without registering with the Commission and holding a licence (with parallel inland s. 67 and coastal s. 72 prohibitions). Licence renewal uses Form C of the Fisheries Regulations, 2010 (L.I. 1968), reg. 23, on payment of the prescribed fee. No recreational-angler or spearfishing-specific licence product, fee or validity period was found in the sources reviewed; prospective spearfishers should contact the Commission directly.
