Jersey
Europe · Northern Europe
Jersey (a British Crown Dependency) has no law that prohibits recreational spearfishing for finfish, and no licence is required for individual recreational sea angling. However, the Sea Fisheries (Underwater Fishing) (Jersey) Regulations 2003 make it an offence to take any SHELLFISH (other than crabs) from the sea while submerged and breathing with breathing apparatus, or while wearing a face visor, mask or goggles. The only exception is scallops, which may be dived for (SCUBA or free-diving) under a scallop diving permit issued by the Minister for the Environment. Recreational spearfishing for fish must still respect species bag limits and minimum landing sizes set under the Sea Fisheries (Bag Limits) (Jersey) Order 2020 and related orders, and the Portelet Bay no-take zone, where all fishing and taking of aquatic resources is banned.

پابندیاں
- Spearfishing for finfish is not specifically regulated and is not prohibited by Jersey law, but no shellfish (other than crabs) may be taken while submerged and breathing with breathing apparatus, or wearing a face visor, mask or goggles.
- Breathing apparatus (including any apparatus used to enable or facilitate respiration under water) may not be used to take shellfish except scallops under a permit.
- Scallops may only be collected by SCUBA or free diving if a valid scallop diving permit is held.
- All fishing, including spearfishing, is prohibited inside the Portelet Bay no-take zone.
Jersey law frames the rule around 'underwater fishing' for shellfish rather than around spearguns specifically; there is no published speargun ban or spear-count limit for finfish. SCUBA itself is lawful, but using breathing apparatus to take shellfish (other than crabs or permitted scallops) is an offence.

محقق کے نوٹس
Jersey is a British Crown Dependency in the Channel Islands with its own fisheries legislation. Key finding: spearfishing for FINFISH is lawful and unlicensed for individuals, but it is an offence to take any SHELLFISH (other than crabs) while submerged and breathing with breathing apparatus or wearing a face visor, mask or goggles (Underwater Fishing Regulations 2003) – so spearing/collecting shellfish (lobster, ormer, scallops, etc.) underwater is banned except scallops under a diving permit. All fishing, including spearfishing, is banned in the Portelet Bay no-take zone (since 2 May 2022). Bag limits, minimum landing sizes and 0-limit protected species apply to all catch. The Portelet centroid coordinate (49.16942, -2.18313) was computed as the midpoint of the two seaward boundary points given verbatim in the 2022 Regulations; the exact bay boundary is in the Schedule to those Regulations. No speargun-specific ban, spear-count limit, or recreational licence was found. Confidence is high: all key provisions come from official Jersey legislation and Government of Jersey publications fetched directly.
