Europe · Western Europe

Recreational underwater fishing (pêche sous-marine) is permitted in the Principality of Monaco but tightly regulated. A person must be at least 16 years old and must file an annual authorisation/declaration with the Department of Maritime Affairs (Direction des Affaires Maritimes), supported by a medical certificate of fitness for underwater fishing and an unlimited civil-liability insurance policy (or a valid underwater-fishing licence). Spearfishing is banned during the closed season from 15 October to 15 March, must take place at least 100 m from the shore or marine structures and 50 m from fishing nets, and is forbidden in the Larvotto marine reserve, the Spélugues coral reef and in ports. Use of breathing apparatus (scuba), artificial light, bait, and barbed/multi-pronged spears (harpoons, multi-branch spears, tridents) or compressed-gas weapons is prohibited; only single-pointed darts are allowed. The daily catch is capped at seven fish per fisher. The diver must signal their presence with a flagged buoy. The governing framework is the Code de la mer (Loi n° 1.198 of 27 March 1998) and Sovereign Ordinance no. 3.131 of 14 February 2011 on the exploitation of biological resources.

Kısıtlamalar

  • Breathing apparatus (air or oxygen cylinders / scuba) prohibited - must be free-diving / apnea
  • Harpoons, spears, multi-branch spears and tridents prohibited; only single-pointed darts permitted
  • Weapons powered by chemical or compressed gas prohibited
  • Use of artificial light sources prohibited
  • Use of bait prohibited
  • A signalling buoy must be displayed bearing the Alpha flag of the International Code of Signals (blue and white) or a red flag with a white Saint Andrew's cross
  • Permitted only from sunrise to sunset

The official government guidance describes prohibited gear as 'a harpoon, such as a spear, multi-branch spear or trident, except single-pointed darts'. This effectively bans conventional barbed/multi-pronged speargun heads while permitting a single-point dart. Powered (compressed-gas/pneumatic) spearguns are prohibited.

Araştırmacı notları

Spearfishing in Monaco is legal but heavily restricted. Authoritative data comes from the Monaco Government public-service portal (monservicepublic.gouv.mc), the AMPN (marine protected areas manager) and Legimonaco/Journal de Monaco for the underlying legislation. The detailed operational rules (closed season, distances, gear, 7-fish limit, prohibited zones) are reproduced verbatim (translated) from the official government portal, which cites Sovereign Ordinance no. 3.131 of 14 February 2011 on the exploitation of biological resources within the Code de la mer (Loi n° 1.198 of 27 March 1998). The full consolidated French text of the underwater-fishing articles and the verbatim text of Ordinance 3.131 were not retrievable as plain HTML (the Code de la mer consolidation and ordinance pages return structural metadata or PDFs only), so most law_texts entries are translated excerpts from the official English-language government guidance rather than the raw French statute; jurisdiction is national throughout (Monaco is a unitary principality). Licence cost was not published. Bluefin tuna is separately regulated (O.S. 7.369 of 26 February 2019). Coordinates for the Larvotto and Spélugues reserves are approximate centroids derived from the WGS84 boundary points published by AMPN. A March 2025 update (O.S. 11.144) added a declaration requirement for shore line-fishing and extended a prohibited works zone near Le Portier toward the Larvotto reserve.
