What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Nanumea outer reef slope.
The Council of chiefs banned the use of spears within the reef, but young people may spear fish along the outer reef slope; hook-and-line is reserved for older people inside the reef. As of November 2005 there was no rule against spearfishing on Nanumea (past inshore closures had lapsed).
