General considerations of the weight areas for Gran Canaria
At the area level, sport and recreational fishing has certain areas where it is somewhat limited to do the sameLet's review something about it:
- Sport fishing for inland waters should be maintained as far away as possible from commercial fishing activities. Given this, a distance of at least half a mile must be maintained from vessels that are in full activity.
- Also you have to keep distance of those activities openwork gear and divers marked, this of at least 70 meters.
- When is made fishing from a boat, recreational or sport, in outer waters, you also have to keep distance from those of a commercial nature. Thus the required distance is at least 300 meters. In the case of tuna boats, the distance must increase to 500 meters.
- Something that should also be taken into account is fishing in the bathing areas. Do not forget that this is prohibited and you must either move away from them or wait for them to leave the beaches to start fishing.
