Sudan
Africa · Northern Africa
Sudan has a Red Sea coastline regulated primarily by the Marine Fisheries Ordinance of 1937 and its 1975 amendment (Marine Fisheries Regulation). The 1975 by-law specifically prohibits the use of 'water guns' (spearguns) in fishing without an issued permit, and FAO's regional review describes the framework as banning dynamite, poisons and spearguns in fishing. As a result, spearfishing is not freely allowed: it requires an official permit and is effectively prohibited for unlicensed and recreational use. All fishing, including spearfishing, is entirely banned inside the no-take Sanganeb Marine National Park, and is restricted in the Dungonab Bay / Mukkawar Island Marine National Park. There is no evidence of a recreational spearfishing licensing scheme aimed at tourists; the licensing regime is built around fishing craft and artisanal/commercial fishers. Enforcement at sea is reported to be weak. No verbatim primary legal text could be retrieved (the official ordinance PDF is a scanned image), so confidence is low; the legal status is sourced from FAO and UNEP/ECOLEX secondary summaries.

Marine Fisheries Ordinance of 1937 (Sudan)
The Ordinance regulates fishing in the Territorial Waters of Sudan. Fishing licences shall be issued by the Local Authority (defined in section 2). These authorities may at discretion refuse licences to non-residents and refuse licences to residents for a 'good cause' (sect. 5). The Minister may declare close areas (sect. 6). A Local Authority may amend or revoke the Schedules and may make regulations not inconsistent with the present Ordinance (sect. 9).

ضروریات
- Local Authorities may at their discretion refuse fishing licences to non-residents (Marine Fisheries Ordinance 1937).
- Foreign fishing vessels operate under permits specifying zones, seasons and target resources.
پابندیاں
- No-take marine national parks (Sanganeb, no-take zones of Dungonab Bay/Mukkawar Island) are closed to all fishing including spearfishing.
- Speargun use requires a permit and is otherwise prohibited.
There is no documented recreational spearfishing scheme for foreigners. Sudan also has significant practical access constraints (security situation, permits, restricted Red Sea State access). Status for foreign recreational spearfishers is effectively restricted/unclear.
مقیمین
Fishing craft licence / fishing permit issued by the Local Authority; speargun use requires a separate permit.
ضروریات
- Hold a valid fishing craft licence and/or personal fishing permit to fish in territorial waters.
- Obtain a permit to use a 'water gun' (speargun).
فوائد
- Local Authorities may give preference to residents over non-residents when issuing fishing licences.
The licensing regime is oriented toward artisanal and commercial fishers (open-access regime within territorial waters for licensed local fishermen), not recreational spearfishing.

ممنوعہ علاقہ
- Sanganeb Marine National Park (SMNP)marine national park (no-take zone)
Atoll/coral reef structure in the central Red Sea about 25-30 km north-east of Port Sudan. Gazetted in 1990 under the Federal Wildlife and Hunting Law of 1986 (order signed 1 April 1990); a UNESCO World Heritage site (2016). Described as a no-take zone where all types of fishing are prohibited; spearfishing is therefore banned here.
- Dungonab Bay and Mukkawar Island Marine National Park (DMNP)marine national park (with no-take zones)
Coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, beaches and islets situated about 125 km north of Port Sudan. Designated as a Federal Reserve in 2004 under the Federal Wildlife and Hunting Law of 1986; a UNESCO World Heritage site (2016). Managed by the Wildlife Conservation General Administration; small-scale subsistence/commercial fishing is generally permitted only outside designated no-take zones, and the area is protected by Wildlife Administration and Fisheries regulations. Spearfishing is restricted/effectively prohibited within the protected area.
- Suakin Archipelago National Parknational park / marine protected area
A group of coral islands and reefs in the Red Sea south-east of Port Sudan and east of the town of Suakin, covering about 1,500 km2. Designated/proposed as an IUCN category II national park and an Important Bird Area, hosting breeding tern colonies, sea turtles (hawksbill, green) and dugongs. It forms the south-eastern quarter of the larger Suakin-Gulf of Agig Ramsar site (designated 2 Feb 2009). As a national-park-status marine area protected for sensitive coral-reef and turtle/dugong habitat, fishing including spearfishing is restricted/effectively prohibited; verify directly with Sudanese wildlife/fisheries authorities. Note: park designation is described in sources as proposed for IUCN II.

محقق کے نوٹس
Sudan's marine fisheries are governed by the Marine Fisheries Ordinance of 1937 and its 1975 amendment (Marine Fisheries Regulation). The 1975 by-law explicitly bans the use of 'water guns' (spearguns) in fishing without an issued permit, and FAO's regional review lists spearguns alongside dynamite and poisons as prohibited fishing methods - hence spearfishing is classified as 'restricted' (permit-gated, effectively prohibited for unlicensed/recreational use). No primary verbatim statutory text could be retrieved: the official ordinance is published only as a scanned, non-machine-readable PDF on FAOLEX (https://faolex.fao.org/docs/pdf/sud2152.pdf) and the 1975 amending by-law is not available in primary digital form, so the law_texts entries are NOT gazette quotations - they reproduce only what the cited secondary records actually state (two short fragments quoted inside the FAO regional fisheries review, and the editorial abstract published by UNEP LEAP / ECOLEX, which gives the parenthetical section references 2/5/6/9). The underlying clause numbers could not be verified against the primary text - this is why data_confidence is 'low'. The two marine national parks (Sanganeb, declared 1990; Dungonab Bay/Mukkawar Island, 2004), both UNESCO World Heritage and managed by the Wildlife Conservation General Administration, prohibit fishing in their no-take zones. Coordinates given are approximate (Sanganeb derived from N19 42' E37 26'; Dungonab Bay approximate). No closed/open seasons specific to spearfishing, no numeric recreational catch/size limits, and no recreational spearfishing licence scheme were found. Enforcement at sea is reported by FAO/UNESCO sources to be weak. Anyone planning to dive should also factor in Sudan's security situation and Red Sea State access permits. Verify directly with the Fisheries Administration and the Wildlife Conservation General Administration before diving.
