Fishing License Requirement?

14 years ago

Hello All,

My wife and I will be moving to the Playa Cambutal area in July. We were wondering if anybody knows the laws pertaining to fishing. Either from the beach, from a boat, or underwater? We want to be able to fish the waters legally and have not been able to find any information online about such laws. Here in Florida there are controls in place that restrict fishing unless a license is purchased. Does Panama have such a law? How about spearfishing underwater? Any Panamanian laws that restrict this?

Thanks for any information you all may have!!
