Overview

How spearfishing is treated at Brunei Marine Protected Area (MPA) no-take zone network.

Network of Marine Protected Areas covering most of Brunei's coral reefs, implemented 1 January 2012. Each reef inside the network is a no-take fishing area; fishing without a licence in any marine reserve or marine park is an offence under Section 27 of the Fisheries Order 2009. Brunei has designated a substantial share (reported as over 20%, more than 1,200 sq km) of its fisheries management area as no-take zone.
