- saltwater-recreational — residents No national recreational fishing licence is required for hook-and-line angling in most Indonesian waters, and there are no nationwide daily bag or size limits. However, marine protected areas (kawasan konservasi perairan / MPAs) impose their own access rules and fishing bans, and protected species may never be taken. Check local rules before fishing., non-residents Visiting anglers generally do not need a national licence for recreational angling, but many MPAs require an entry permit/conservation tag (e.g. the Raja Ampat Marine Park entry permit) and restrict or prohibit fishing for non-community members. Confirm zone rules with the local conservation-area management before fishing.
FishRadar regulations are summaries for informational purposes only and are not a legal source. Indonesia does not set national recreational bag or size limits, but strict protections apply: both species of manta ray and ALL sea turtles are fully protected nationwide and may never be taken; Napoleon (humphead) wrasse is protected with restricted catch under KKP decree; and many marine protected areas (e.g. Raja Ampat, where all sharks and manta rays are protected and spearfishing by visitors is banned) prohibit or restrict fishing. Rules change and vary by region/MPA. Always verify with the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) and the local conservation-area authority before fishing.
