Spearfishing (chasse sous-marine) is prohibited throughout Djibouti's territorial waters. Decree No. 85-103/PR/AG of 28 October 1985 'temporarily' banned underwater hunting in any form and prohibited even the possession of a speargun (fusil sous-marin) aboard any vessel or on the beaches. This prohibition has never been lifted and remains in force. Djibouti also bans trawling and restricts all fishing to artisanal methods; professional fishing licences are reserved to Djiboutian nationals and Djibouti-registered vessels under the 2002 Fisheries Code and its 2007 implementing decrees. Non-professional (recreational/pleasure) fishing licences are available to residents but the authorised gear is limited (hook-and-line, hand gaff) and does not include any underwater hunting equipment. Additional protections apply inside the national marine protected areas created by Law No. 45/AN/04/5e L of 27 March 2004.

محقق کے نوٹس
Spearfishing (chasse sous-marine) is illegal in Djibouti for everyone. The governing instrument is Decree No. 85-103/PR/AG of 28 October 1985 (note: many secondary sources cite the number as 85-103/PRE, but the official FAOLEX text reads 85-103/PR/AG). Article 1 bans underwater hunting in any form within the territorial sea; Article 2 bans even possessing a speargun on a boat or beach; Article 11 provides fines of 300,000-2,000,000 FD (and imprisonment of 3 months-1 year on repeat offence) plus mandatory seizure of hunting weapons, diving gear and boats. Although the 1985 ban is worded as 'temporary' (momentanement), it has never been repealed and remains in force per the Ministry of Finance fisheries pages and dive-tourism sources. Djibouti more broadly permits only artisanal fishing (no trawling), reserves professional fishing to nationals/registered vessels (Fisheries Code Law 187/AN/02 and Arrete 2007-0036), and offers non-professional/pleasure fishing licences only to residents using limited hook-and-line/gaff gear for personal consumption. Marine mammals, turtles, coral and shellfish are protected. Several marine protected areas (Iles Moucha-Maskali, Sept Freres, Ras Siyan/Khor Angar/Godoria, Douda-Haramous) were established by Law No. 45/AN/04/5e L of 27 March 2004. Coordinates for protected zones are approximate (derived from island/lighthouse locations and the decree's boundary points) except the Musha park boundary points, which are quoted verbatim from the decree. Confidence is high: the core prohibition and licensing rules come from verbatim official legal texts retrieved from FAOLEX. The full verbatim text of the 2002 Fisheries Code (Law 187/AN/02) itself was not separately extracted; its content is reflected via the implementing Arrete 2007-0036 and FAO/Ministry sources.
