Albania
Europe · Southern Europe
Recreational/amateur spearfishing (underwater fishing) is legal in Albania but heavily restricted. It is governed by Law No. 64/2012 on Fisheries (notably Article 45) and Ministry of Agriculture Directive No. 6 of 11.04.2022 on recreational-leisure fishing. Spearfishing is prohibited for persons under 16, from sunset to dawn, with the use of oxygen/scuba cylinders, within 500 m of beaches used by bathers (100 m on rocky shores), and entering tourist areas with a loaded speargun. Catch is capped at 5 kg of fishery products per person per day (exceeded only if a single fish weighs more than 5 kg) and selling the catch is forbidden. Amateur fishing requires authorization from the competent local authority; foreigners may only obtain short-term authorizations and must be members of a national association. A license/authorization is required to fish from a boat (obtained via the e-Albania portal). All fishing is banned in the Karaburun-Sazan Marine National Park.

Ghi chú của người nghiên cứu
Spearfishing is legal but restricted. Strongest verbatim legal source for the core prohibitions is the FAO AdriaMed comparative legislation page summarizing Law No. 64/2012 (Articles 39, 40, 41, 45). Spearfishing-specific operational rules (oxygen/scuba ban, 500 m / 100 m beach buffers, loaded-speargun ban, coral/mollusc ban) come from the Albanian Ministry of Agriculture's amateur underwater fishing rules implemented via Directive No. 6 of 11.04.2022, reproduced on transparence.al; the original consolidated directive PDF on FAOLEX could not be parsed (binary/encoded). Several figures (license cost ~1000 ALL/day, 50 m distance from other fishers) come from a community guide (kotorfisherman.com) and should be verified against the official e-Albania service and the latest ministerial instruction before relying on them. Confidence is medium: the legal framework and key prohibitions are well attested, but exact article-level Albanian-language text and current minimum-size limits were not all retrieved verbatim.
