There are currently 25 marine reserves, in addition to other protected marine areas, those in Spain, whether of exclusive State management, of the Autonomous Communities or of shared management. In these areas, the main purpose of which is to ensure the protection and conservation of our marine ecosystem and its biodiversity, the activities or uses that can be carried out are strictly regulated and also have a specific control and monitoring system. Recreational fishing is only authorised in certain areas of certain reserves, subject to the conditions laid down in its specific legislation and subject, as a general rule, to a special administrative authorisation.

The internal waters that are defined by Royal Decree 2510 / 1977 of 5 August, on the drawing of straight baselines in the development of Law 20 / 1967 of 8 April, on the extension of Spanish jurisdictional waters to 12 miles, are the responsibility of the various autonomous communities of the coast. Competition in the external waters, which are the rest of Spanish jurisdictional waters, falls within the competence of the State Administration.

If the recreational fishing licence is for inland waters it is each autonomous community that is competent to issue it. The requests will therefore have to be addressed to the competent autonomous community. If the recreational fishing licence is for external waters, whether from land, from boat or submarines, and not for species of differentiated protection, it is also the autonomous communities of the coast that issue them by cession of the State General Administration. The requests will therefore have to be addressed to the competent autonomous community. If the fishing licence is intended for species of differentiated protection (Annex II, Royal Decree 347 / 2011 of 11 March 2011 on the regulation of sea fishing for leisure in external waters), it shall be the General Administration of the State which shall issue it.
