Guam Department of Agriculture User Friendly Fishing Regulation Booklet

"The Department of Agriculture developed this User Friendly Regulation Booklet, to better inform local residents, visitors and the fishing community of Guams fishing laws and regulations to include allowable activities within Guams 5 Marine Preserves and the location of Fishing Aggregating Device (FAD) And Shallow Water Mooring (SWM) Sites. This User Friendly Fishing Regulation Booklet are just that, User Friendly and may not include all the laws and regulations as printed in Title 5 Guam Code Annotated, Chapter 63 and Title 16 Guam Administrative Rules and Regulations, Chapter 2. This booklet contains the most common violations encountered in the field by Conservation Officers and Fisheries Personnel. The Department of Agriculture recommends that you call the Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources (DAWR) from Monday to Friday at 735-0294 for any questions or clarifications before you enter our waters to harvest Guams aquatic resources. Being better informed of what you can or cannot do makes a big difference in whether you enjoy our resource or pay a hefty fine for violating our fishery laws."
