Recreational/sport spearfishing is legal in the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville) under Loi n° 2-2000 du 1er février 2000 organising maritime fishing. Sport fishing ('pêche maritime sportive', defined as fishing for tourism or leisure) is permitted in all fishing zones (Art. 18). Article 20 expressly allows spearfishing with 'armes sous marines utilisées en apnée' — underwater guns used while freediving — provided the harpoons and projectiles are propelled only by human (muscular) force. SCUBA / compressed-air diving for spearfishing and any speargun whose projectile is not muscle-powered are prohibited (Art. 25, applicable to amateur artisanal fishing). A sport-fishing campaign requires prior authorisation from the maritime fishing authority (Art. 19, 21) and a sport-fishing permit; the tax is a flat 25,000 FCFA per person per campaign (Art. 56). Fishing in prohibited zones, of protected species, or of fish below market/legal size is sanctioned (Art. 87). The large marine sector of Conkouati-Douli National Park is a marine protected area where fishing is restricted. Explosives and toxic substances are forbidden (Art. 90).

Kimler avlanabilir
Ziyaretçiler ve ikamet edenler
Kuralların yabancı ziyaretçiler ve yerel ikamet edenler için nasıl farklılaştığı.
Yabancı ziyaretçiler
İzin veriliyorÖzel ruhsat gerekli
Gereksinimler
- Same sport-fishing authorisation and permit as any person organising a campaign (Art. 19–21).
- Sport-fishing permit tax of 25,000 FCFA per person per campaign applies (Art. 56).
Kısıtlamalar
- Foreign fishing vessels operating in Congolese waters must comply with all Congolese laws and regulations (Art. 51) and are subject to special conditions, but these provisions target industrial/commercial vessels, not individual recreational spearfishers.
The sport-fishing provisions (Art. 18–21, 56) do not distinguish by nationality; the flat 25,000 FCFA per person per campaign permit tax applies to all participants. Higher tax coefficients for foreigners under Art. 54–55 concern industrial and professional artisanal licences, not recreational sport fishing.
İkamet edenler
Sport-fishing permit (same regime as for any participant); subsistence amateur artisanal fishing ('pêche maritime artisanale en amateur') is free of charge
Gereksinimler
- Subsistence amateur artisanal fishing is practised without profit for subsistence products only and is free (Art. 25).
- Even for free amateur fishing, powered underwater guns and non-apnea diving are prohibited (Art. 25).
Avantajlar
- Amateur (subsistence) artisanal fishing is gratis — no permit fee (Art. 25).
Residents engaging in tourism/leisure sport fishing follow the same Art. 18–21 sport-fishing regime; those fishing only for subsistence may rely on the free amateur artisanal category but remain bound by the apnea-only, muscle-powered-only gear rules.

Araştırmacı notları
Country is the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville, ISO3 COG), Middle Africa, with an Atlantic coastline (~169 km) centred on Pointe-Noire. The governing instrument is Loi n° 2-2000 du 1er février 2000 (maritime fishing). Spearfishing is explicitly and lawfully addressed: it is permitted as part of 'pêche maritime sportive' using underwater guns in apnea with muscle-powered projectiles (Art. 20); SCUBA-assisted and powered-speargun spearfishing are prohibited (Art. 25). A per-campaign sport-fishing authorisation and a 25,000 FCFA/person/campaign permit are required (Art. 19, 21, 56). Hence 'restricted' rather than a clean 'yes'. Verbatim French law text was retrieved from the FAO FAOLEX official PDF of the statute. Gaps: specific closed-season ('repos biologique') dates, minimum legal sizes, and the full protected-species list are set by implementing regulations not retrieved verbatim and are left unknown/empty rather than guessed; the exact precedence of marine-protected-area fishing bans (Conkouati-Douli) relies on secondary sources. Confidence is high for the primary statute, medium for MPA-specific enforcement details.
