Aruba offers excellent fishing opportunities in the Caribbean Sea, but visitors must obtain proper fishing licenses before engaging in any fishing activities. The Aruba fishing license is required for both recreational and commercial fishing to help preserve marine resources and maintain sustainable fishing practices.
To apply for an Aruba fishing license, you need to submit an application to the Department of Agriculture, Husbandry and Fisheries. The application requires personal information, identification documents, and details about your fishing vessel if applicable. License fees vary depending on whether you\“re applying for recreational or commercial fishing privileges.
Recreational fishing licenses typically allow for sport fishing from shore or private vessels, while commercial licenses permit fishing for profit. Special regulations apply to protected species and specific fishing zones around the island. Always check current regulations as they may change seasonally.
The Aruba government takes fishing conservation seriously, with strict enforcement of size limits, catch limits, and protected areas. Violations can result in significant fines and license revocation. Make sure to carry your fishing license with you at all times when fishing in Aruban waters. |
