Mayotte
Africa · Eastern Africa
Mayotte is a French overseas department, so recreational spearfishing (peche sous-marine / chasse sous-marine) is governed by the French Code rural et de la peche maritime (articles R921-90 et seq.) supplemented by the prefectural arrete of 28 June 2018 regulating maritime fishing in Mayotte's waters. Spearfishing is strictly PROHIBITED inside the entire lagoon (up to the start of the outer slope of the barrier reef) and in all the reef passes, and within a 1-mile radius of any fish-aggregating device (DCP). It is only permitted OUTSIDE the lagoon, in breath-hold apnea, by day, and without any underwater breathing apparatus (no scuba/hookah). Spearfishing is additionally banned even outside the lagoon within the Saziley protected site. Professional spearfishing is not authorised, and all spearfishing competitions are prohibited in Mayotte's internal and territorial waters. The whole of Mayotte's territorial waters and EEZ lie within the Parc naturel marin de Mayotte (created 2010), managed by the Office francais de la biodiversite (OFB).

Utländska besökare
TillåtetRestriktioner
- Same rules apply to all: spearfishing only outside the lagoon, in apnea, by day; prohibited in the lagoon, passes, Saziley and around DCPs
Mayotte is part of France/EU; no spearfishing-specific rules distinguishing foreigners were found. Recreational fishers are subject to the same prefectural arrete. The arrete does not establish a nationality-based regime; vessels transiting territorial waters must report to the Unite territoriale de Mayotte to obtain any exceptional temporary derogation (Article 11).
Bofasta
No specific residents-only spearfishing licence
Förmåner
- Traditional Mahoraise practices (e.g. Djarifa, pirogue fishing) inside the lagoon may be authorised by the administrative authority after advice of the marine park (Articles 38-39) - these are not spearfishing
No resident-specific spearfishing regime; the same recreational rules apply to residents and visitors.

Forskaranteckningar
Mayotte is a French overseas department (departement d'outre-mer). Spearfishing law = French national framework (Code rural et de la peche maritime, art. R921-90 et seq.) + the consolidating prefectural arrete of 28 June 2018, whose verbatim French text was retrieved from the official FAOLEX-hosted PDF. The 2018 arrete abrogated and replaced the earlier dedicated arrete n°06/UTM/2014 of 20 May 2014 on chasse sous-marine. Core rule: spearfishing is PROHIBITED in the entire lagoon, all reef passes, the Saziley site (even outside the lagoon), within 1 mile of any DCP, and in the Mbouzi reserve perimeter; it is ALLOWED only outside the lagoon, in breath-hold apnea, by day, without breathing apparatus. Professional spearfishing is not authorised and all spearfishing competitions are banned. data_confidence is high because the binding prefectural arrete with article-level verbatim text was obtained from an official source. Caveat: the 2018 arrete is the most recent text retrieved; newer prefectural arretes could exist and should be re-checked against legifrance / the Prefecture de Mayotte recueil des actes administratifs. Coordinate centroids in zones were computed from the WGS84 degree-decimal-minute points quoted verbatim in the arrete; the lagoon/park centroids are approximate reference points, not legal boundaries.
