What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Entire national coastline (military/coastal security control).
The whole DPRK coast is under military and coastal-security supervision. Fishing is conducted under military oversight to prevent defections, the Coastal Security Bureau polices fishing areas, and going to sea requires permission. Independent or recreational access to the sea by individuals or foreigners is effectively prohibited without explicit state authorisation.
