What this zone is

Overview

How spearfishing is treated at Parque Submarino de Las Grutas.

Underwater park ~5 km south of Las Grutas and ~7.5 km offshore, Rio Negro; four sunken fishing vessels (Don Felix, Chiarpesca, Mariana Rojamar, Polarborg) act as artificial reefs hosting dense marine life. Local spearfishers deliberately avoid hunting at these structures, treating them as protected artificial reefs.
