Portugal

Europe · Southern Europe

Recreational spearfishing (pesca submarina / caca submarina) is legal in mainland Portugal and is one of the four recognised modalities of recreational sea fishing (pesca ludica). It requires a specific recreational fishing licence issued by the DGRM (or the 'all modalities' licence). It may only be practised in apnea (breath-hold); the use of any artificial breathing apparatus (scuba / compressed gas) while spearfishing is prohibited, and a speargun may not be carried on board a vessel together with breathing apparatus. The spearfisher must be marked at the surface by a signalling buoy/board flying the international Alfa flag, which must stay within 30 m. Night spearfishing (between sunset and sunrise) is banned, as is the use of speargun propulsion based on chemical detonation or compressed gas. A daily catch limit of 15 kg applies to spearfishing (largest specimen excluded). Selling any recreational catch is forbidden. Spearfishing is prohibited or heavily restricted inside several marine protected areas (Berlengas, Arrabida/Luiz Saldanha, SW Alentejo & Costa Vicentina, Litoral Norte). Capture of the dusky grouper (mero, Epinephelus marginatus) is prohibited. The autonomous regions of Azores and Madeira have their own separate regimes.

Notatki badacza

Mainland framework: Decreto-Lei 246/2000 + Portaria 14/2014. Verbatim provisions on the apnea requirement, night ban, signalling buoy, sale ban and DGRM licensing were retrieved from the Marinha Portuguesa LexMar consolidated text of DL 246/2000; the 30 m signalling distance and the 15 kg spearfishing daily limit from a Portaria 14/2014 text mirror. Minimum capture sizes are quoted directly from the official DGRM TMRC table PDF (extracted from the document). The article numbers cited for DL 246/2000 reflect the consolidated text and should be re-checked against the official Diario da Republica before publication. Coordinates for the prohibited MPAs are approximate centroids for map display, not legal boundaries; exact spearfishing boundaries inside each park are defined by that park's own POOC/management plan and should be consulted before diving. The Azores and Madeira autonomous regions operate separate licence and conservation regimes (e.g. mero capture fully banned: Azores Portaria 83-B/2024; Madeira Resolucao 604/2022) - those regional rules are summarised but not fully exhausted here. Confidence is high for mainland core rules; medium for exact in-park boundaries and current article numbering.
