Recreational spearfishing (pesca con arpon en apnea) is legal in Puerto Rico but tightly regulated. In Puerto Rico jurisdictional (territorial) waters it is governed by the DRNA Reglamento de Pesca de Puerto Rico. Spearfishing is allowed only while freediving/breath-hold (en apnea): it is illegal to use a speargun and a diving tank (SCUBA) at the same time. Spear-fishing is prohibited at docks, designated bathing areas, marine reserves and artificial reefs, prohibited at night (sunset to sunrise), and prohibited within 100 feet (30.48 m) of the coast where the spear must be kept unloaded. A recreational saltwater fishing license from DRNA is required for anyone 13 or older. In adjacent federal waters (the EEZ around Puerto Rico, generally beyond 9 nm) NOAA / 50 CFR 622 applies: powerheads may not be used to take reef fish, Nassau and goliath grouper, three parrotfish species, queen conch and certain rays are fully protected, and several spawning-area and species seasonal closures apply.

หมายเหตุของผู้ค้นคว้า
Puerto Rico is an unincorporated U.S. territory; spearfishing is governed by two layers. (1) Territorial/jurisdictional waters (out to ~9 nm): DRNA Reglamento de Pesca de Puerto Rico. The verbatim Spanish provisions captured here (spearfishing gear/area/night rules, license fee table, mero cabrilla veda, grouper protections, powerhead ban) are from the official Reglamento Num. 6768 (2004) PDF on drna.pr.gov. This regulation was superseded in 2010 by Reglamento Num. 7949, which is the CURRENT in-force local fishing regulation and retains the same core spearfishing rules (apnea-only spearfishing, no speargun+SCUBA tank, 100 ft unloaded-spear rule, marine-reserve and night prohibitions). The 7949 PDF could not be machine-extracted at access time (large PDF / repeated fetch timeouts), so its exact verbatim wording and inciso numbering are not quoted here; where the 2004 numbering is cited it may differ from 7949. IMPORTANT CORRECTION: the queen conch (carrucho) closed season was corrected from 1 Jul-30 Sep to 1 Aug-31 Oct, which is the period set by the in-force Reglamento Num. 7949 (Art. 8) and reaffirmed in DRNA veda announcements; the older July-September window did not match the current regulation. Sama (mutton snapper, 1 Apr-31 May) and land-crab (15 Jul-15 Oct) closures are confirmed via official DRNA notices and the DRNA/Sea Grant PR veda table but their exact verbatim text was not retrievable, so no verbatim law_text is asserted for them. (2) Federal EEZ (beyond ~9 nm): NOAA 50 CFR 622 Subpart S; the verbatim 622.437/438/439 excerpts here were originally captured from eCFR, but a re-fetch during this review was blocked by an anti-bot redirect (eCFR -> unblock.federalregister.gov), so eCFR content was not re-confirmed live this session (the federal closure dates were however cross-checked against the DRNA/Sea Grant veda table and NOAA bulletins and are consistent). Federal dolphinfish/wahoo bag and size limits are from NOAA Amendment 3 (effective 25 Jul 2025). Coordinates for Desecheo, Mona, Culebra, Condado, Bajo de Sico, Abrir La Sierra and Tourmaline are approximate centroids derived from the cited regulatory coordinates/refuge data and are for map display, not navigation. Confidence: medium overall - the existence and substance of the rules rest on primary official sources, but the exact current verbatim wording and article numbering of the in-force 2010 territorial regulation could not be machine-extracted this session.
