Recreational fishing: new rules
4 May 2026
The Mediterranean Interregional Sea Directorate (DIRM) has recently updated its website regarding catch reporting obligations for recreational fishing in the Mediterranean.
The use of Catchmachine and RecFishing applications remains central to the reporting system. These tools help monitor and regulate practices, particularly in areas subject to specific regulations.
The latest version of the summary leaflet includes the provisions of the new decree specifying the conditions for recreational fishing at sea. It continues to distinguish between regulated and non-regulated areas, providing clearer guidance for users.
Users are encouraged to refer to these updated resources to ensure compliance with current regulations.
