Tung Ping Chau Marine Park Recreational Fishing Zone (special zone)
What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Tung Ping Chau Marine Park Recreational Fishing Zone (special zone).
A special zone within Tung Ping Chau Marine Park where fishing is permitted under Schedule 1 Part 1 of Cap. 476A, comprising (a) the tidal water between Chau Pui and Lan Kwo Shui; and (b) the tidal water between the northern end of Cham Keng Chau and Chau Mei Kok. Note: this exemption permits fishing subject to conditions, but possession of a spear gun remains prohibited inside the marine park under Schedule 3, so it does not authorise spearfishing.

License for Hong Kong
Whether you need a license to spearfish here, and how to get one.
Apply to the Arms Licensing Section of the Hong Kong Police Force for a licence for possession of arms. Recreational sea fishing itself needs no fishing licence; freshwater reservoir fishing (not spearfishing) is licensed separately by the Water Supplies Department.
