Macao
Asia · Eastern Asia
Macao (Macau SAR) has no spearfishing-specific legislation and no known recreational spearfishing scene. Its 85 km2 of jurisdictional waters (delegated by the PRC State Council in December 2015) are highly turbid, industrialised Pearl River estuary / harbour waters with poor visibility, used mainly for navigation, reclamation and commercial fishing. The maritime area is governed by Law 7/2018 (Basic Law on the Management of Maritime Areas), which sets principles of marine-environment protection, conservation and lawful, regulated use, and delegates detailed regulation to the government. The Marine and Water Bureau (DSAMA) prohibits fishing and the placing of fishing gear in navigation fairways and surrounding waters. A 2026 bill on the use of maritime areas makes private use of the maritime area subject to prior RAEM authorisation. China's annual South China Sea summer fishing moratorium (noon 1 May to 16 August) applies to the region, banning fishing operations other than rod-and-line. The Chinese white dolphin (Sousa chinensis), present in these waters, has first-class national protection in China. No source confirms that recreational spearfishing is specifically permitted, licensed or practised; legality of an individual spearfishing in these waters is therefore unknown and likely effectively impossible/unauthorised without permission.

Yabancı ziyaretçiler
No rules specific to foreigners spearfishing in Macao were found. Macao has essentially no recreational spearfishing scene; turbid estuary/harbour waters and authorisation requirements for private use of maritime areas make this impractical and legally unclear.
İkamet edenler
unknown
No resident-specific recreational spearfishing rules were found.

Araştırmacı notları
Macao has NO spearfishing-specific legislation and effectively no recreational spearfishing scene. Its waters are turbid, industrialised Pearl River estuary / harbour waters (poor visibility, mediocre water quality at Hac Sa/Coloane), so the activity is not practised and its legality could not be positively established (marked 'unknown'). The relevant legal framework found and quoted is Law 7/2018 (Basic Law on the Management of Maritime Areas), a 13-article framework law establishing principles of conservation, marine-environment protection and lawful/rational use, delegating detailed regulation to the government; it does not mention 'pesca' (fishing), diving or sanctions. Operational fishing rules come from: (a) DSAMA's prohibition on fishing/placing gear in navigation fairways (fine up to MOP 15,000); (b) the 2026 bill subjecting private use of maritime areas to prior RAEM authorisation; (c) China's South China Sea summer fishing moratorium (1 May - 16 August, rod-and-line exempt). The Chinese white dolphin (Sousa chinensis) is a first-class nationally protected species in these waters. NO verbatim text mentioning spearfishing, spearguns, recreational diving for fishing, catch limits or licences specific to Macao was located, so those fields are 'unknown'/empty and confidence is LOW. Several PDF sources were fetched and text-extracted directly (Law 7/2018 gazette; Despacho 57/2017). Two coordinate-bearing zones were not available; the prohibited fairways zone has no single coordinate. Recommended next step for higher confidence: contact DSAMA and DSPA directly and review any administrative regulation issued under Law 7/2018 on permitted maritime activities.
