Are you interested in spearfishing but want to know if it is sustainable? Let me share my experience after years of enjoying this exciting activity with my brother. I will tell you how we connected with the fascinating underwater world.
First, people spearfish at a rate and intensity that allows fish stocks to recover and prevents overexploitation. Studies show that spear fishermen represent less than 5% of recreational anglers who use poles or nets. We are a small but passionate global community seeking to integrate into marine ecology during our practice, which sets us apart. Also, spearfishing demands specific physical skills that make it even more exciting.
Second, spearfishing is a highly selective form of fishing, which means we catch only the prey we seek, avoiding bycatch. In places like the Caribbean (Playa del Carmen) and the Pacific (Baja California Sur), where we have developed our experience, clear and strict regulations protect endangered species. This practice ensures no pollution or damage to the marine habitat.
Furthermore, spearfishing is a sustainable and ethical practice that allows you to connect with nature uniquely! We use techniques like those of natural predators, stalking stealthily, strategizing, and patiently waiting for the perfect moment. By not using methods such as tallows, rods, nets, or oxygen tanks, we allow the fish to activate their defense systems, just as they would against any predator, whether human or not.
And that's not all. Spearfishing goes beyond recreation. Many enjoy a delicious meal with our catch, either in specialized restaurants that prepare exquisite recipes, sharing with family and friends who did not participate in the fishing, or even preparing our recipes with the crew. There is nothing more satisfying than catching your food.
