License for Cambodia
Whether you need a license to spearfish here, and how to get one.
Licences and the authority responsible for issuing them are set by MAFF proclamation (Art. 70-71). Recreational anglers fishing with rod and line in public waters reportedly do not need a state permit; spearfishing falls into a grey area best confirmed directly with the Fisheries Administration.
