Regulations

Before you get in the water

What Moroccan law says, point by point, with the text behind it. Four rules to know, and the sizes people look up most.

Non-resident visitors Exempt from the fee for the duration of their stay in Morocco.

From sunrise to sunset Recreational fishing is allowed in any season, but never at night.

For your own table The catch from recreational fishing may not be sold.
