It surprises me that spearing is not legal in the netherlands as the law in the netherlands in some other areas seems openminded and constructive, at least compared to sweden.
In sweden not only spearing is illegal but also owning a speargun which falls under the same regulations as firearms. Meanwhile the baltic sea is so cleaned out by commercial fishing that according to marine biologists only a total stop of commercial fishing for several years can save the baltic sea cod from extinction. Of course sweden will not halt commercial fishing in the baltic sea. After all, it does the fish the great favor of keeping spearing illegal.
